Big Block Questions!

I looked through the FQAs and did not find anything to cover this. So I figured I would ask a question I know has been answered on here before. To convert a Small block truck to a Big Block truck what all is needed? I am considering this for my truck. I have a swb C-10. I already have plans to install the 4 core radiator. Are any of my brackets useable on a Big Block? (ie. alternator bracket and power steering bracket. I do not have AC.)

Right now these are the things I believe I will need:
BB front springs (Needed new ones anyway)
BB engine towers
New alternator bracket
New power steering bracket
new radiator cowl (needed a new one anyway)
New motor mounts
New exaust manifolds or headers (want to go ceramic coated headers anyway)
New intake (probably step up to a 850 cfm carb also)
and since I'm running an auto tranny I will want to have the clutches upgraded.

Other than the stock 68-71 and the rare 72 engine towers are thier any other engine mounts that are direct bolt in? (such as like a 78 chevy truck tower) Do I need a tall hump or will this still work with a short hump?

Thanks all for your advice in advance!
