Question need advice quick...

Hi guys...need your expert advice quickly as I have a chance to buy a suburban today for 500 bux....
Question is..I have a 68 c/10 with stock 292 6 cyl...and 4 speed...
this suburban has 350/350 in it....will it bolt right in?
Will all the parts from 73 suburban allow me to swap engine into mine?

Re: need advice quick...

If the engine and transmission are in good shape, buy it and then worry about getting the required parts.

Some things that come to mind along with rear crossmember, is automatic transmission linkage, radiator for automatic transmission, engine mount towers for V8, the automatic steering column. Could be more parts. I got all of mine from a donor truck.
