using an 88 suburban engine in the 65?

pretty much smoked the 283 in the 65...

I have an 88 sub with a low mile goodwrench replacement 350 in it.
it is the sbc that has the center bolt valve covers.
it has tb fuel injection.

would it be a ton of work transfering it to the 65?

I would want to keep my stock ram horn manifolds alternator bracket?

**haven't looked yet , it probably has a serpintine belt.....
so would its alternator work on the 65 instead of the stock one?

or is it easy enough to change out the pulleys for a regular belt, I would not be using the ps pump or any of the smog stuff, so the serpintine belt would probably not fit.

I don't want to use the fuel injection, would I be able to bolt a q jet manifold, or an edelbrock performer manifold from an earlier sbc to it?

would my 283 flywheel bolt up to the 350 crank?

this is just 1 option I have it is the nicest sbc we have, if I could make it work without too much hassle I might go for it, if not I will try a different motor...

I need to get a pretty quick turnaround , since the 65 is my dd..
