2 more cents...i would feel more comfortable if i had heard engine run.A swap is not a problem but a few things to consider..you will have to invest some coin to get it in and fired up.If big truck oil pan is still on it will have to be changed out to a regular lets say a 402 pan for clearance.Early tall deck distributors did not have vacuum advance so you will have to search out a later model..they are almost 1/2"taller than a regular small/big block distributor.Headers could be an issue due to the fact they will bolt higher and stick out further than the low deck..have to notch frame for clearance.Manifolds make swap easier.Low deck intake will work with aftermarket spacer kit.Hopefully all accessories are with,pulleys,brackets,etc.as they are specific to these motors.research starter and flywheel also as this needs to be considered.The swap i was involved with was bolted to an automatic..to me it is a lot to consider and spend on a motor like this..good luck with your project...Rob
