1947-53 Engine Swap 6.0/5.3

[akepler]

I've been trying to track down some information on swapping a 5.3/6.0 into a early chevy truck (1947-53) and haven't really been able to find a comprehensive website or post. I'm sure there is something out there but if someone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

At this time, I am trying to track down an suitable project vehicle, but today stumbled across a possibly decent LQ9 6.0L that a co-worker has had sitting around from an abandoned project. He wants to get rid of it and is asking ~$300. This seems like a good price for motor, accessories, and ECM, but my only reference point is what they are going for on Ebay. I'm new to the game and have a lot to learn; are there any inherent issues with the 6.0, are rebuild parts readily available, what tranny should I use for optimum highway cruising etc...?

Again, this will be my first project and need some better guidance than what I've ran across. Thanks in advance for any advice!
