I am sure many people have already done this.
Swapping from 6 banger to V8 in 1972 3/4T 4-speed w/205
Just wanting to know what the major issues are that I might run into before I start this project?
Thanks for any input

There should be no issues other than power steering, alt, and A/C brackets. You will need to get a different fan shroud or use a electric fan. It will bolt right in using the same mounts you can even reuse the motor mounts if they are in good shape (I would replace them they are cheap).
