SBC to BBC swap

A friends suggested I not go with a SBC stroker engine(what I was shopping for) and simply build a BBC for a little more.

Is this just a bolt in swap...so the original trans, engine mounts, cooling fan to radiator, etc?
Would this post any serious problems?

Re: SBC to BBC swap

Soooo... what are we talking about here exactly? A 2002 VW Rabbit? A 1963 C60 Flatbed?

A little more info might get you a proper answer. Start with Year, Make, Model, Current Engine/Trans setup, your usage plans for the vehicle, any modifications you want to do (lift or lower, chassis mods), possibly your skill level for fabrication and doing the work yourself, budget?
