The bolt up should be straight forward. You may need to move the transmission mount but I'm not sure. One thing you will definately need is a bigger radiator. Go with a 3 core or the big sucker 4 core. The exhaust will need some routing and additions. Do you have the exhaust manifolds. You could probably find a "y" off a late '80 truck to fit nicely.
