If I didn't already have the engine no way in this day and time I build a big-block for anything but an original vehicle. You can get as much or more power from an LS with less hassle and a lot better mileage and driveability.

Hate to disagree but...BBC takes a different mount/tower. Up till '71 all bbc mounts were the same. The '72 bbc mount was slightly different. You can check this out on the parts for sale board. They usually run over a hundred and up for the pair when you find them.
ETA: Clarification.
