Engine Swap Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello Everyone, just wondering if I could ask a couple questions.
I have a 1970 Chevrolet C10. 267 V8 with 3 on the tree, 2 piece drive shaft, and 3.73 open rear end.
So I am looking at swapping in a 350(or 383) or a 454. Now with the 350 I should be able to swap it right in place with the 267 correct? Now what would have to be done to put in the 454?
With that being said I am sure that the three speed won't handle that power, so am thinking either a th350 or muncie m20/m21 behind the 350. Will I have to swap out the drive shaft?
What is a good transmission to put behind a 454?
Thanks in advance for all the responses, just trying to decide in the direction I want it to go.
