I think he is talking about swapping the entire engine. If not, then I want the Vortec heads hes not using.....

Im sure it can be done, but there are electrical issues you will run into. One i know of for sure is the vortec motors use 4 oxygen sensors, TBI is only 2.

Also the fuel lines are different so you would want to find a donor Burban for those.

I also suggest, if you go through with it, to go ahead and make the fuel spider upgrade while the vortec motor is out.
