how hard is it to do a 350ci motor swap..

okay well long story short ive always wanted a swb 67-72 and well stopeed at the neighbors house asking if he had a tailgate for my truck (his son, my other neighbor, said he may have one) so i go over there asking bout one, he said hes gota whole truck and a good tailgate that i can have for 700 bucks, well truns out it was a swb 2x4 cheyenne, it was allwhite, no signs of repaint, but he said it used to be yellow, prolly orche, and white 2 tone,...the spid said 'blue trim' what color was it lol?

but anyways, its a brand new motor, speedo says 48,xxx miles but they guy got put in prison for a while, just got the truck back from being rebuild, and it didnt have anitfreeze in it, so it cracked something, idk head block idk, it 'has' a good transmission in it so he says its rebuild too.

needs 1 rocker prolly cab corners and above the rear wheelwells in the bedis rusted some...now I WANNA SWB!!!! but ive got my blue 68 which im not selling. and my 72 parts truck, if i can sell either my parts truck, or my fourwheeler, theres a good chance that in a few montsh i'll buy it, and try to find at motor for it, or use my 'doesnt look like it'd run' 350 from my 72...now, im 16, and can get help advise but what all is in volved swithcing out motors.....


is it easier to pull tranny motor together?

undo motor mounts all wires cables etc to motor all fuel lines etc etc etc, and it comes out? never done this before cant be too hard..just bulky.....
