Not that hard, you should get v8 engine stands, although you can use the 6 stands, it will be back a couple of inches and if you use tall valve covers they can hit big time. The auto will require crossmember moving at a minimum and new driveshaft. Also I upgraded the radiator to a crossflow 4 core, it required new mounts and shroud (didn't have one to begin with). For the exhaust it should be easy with either headers or manifolds since it will be a auto, Ram horn manifolds work great on these trucks. I would try and get a complete engine to either rebuild or get parts from, like HEI, water pump, alternator, brakets and the like. Get new motor mounts and or run a chain to keep the left side of the engine from moving and jamming the trottle wide open(gotta love throttle rods!)
