You could just slap it in from what I hear...
But to do it properly and make it look stock, there are some parts.
You'll need the motor mounts, and the towers.
The engine (duh)
Accesory brackets. (power steering had a remote reservoir)
Possably need to go to a hugh hump on the cab floor. (all big block trucks came like this)

If I left anything out...some one will add it.

My understanding is that the BB mounts/towers are a must for manifold or header clearance. they will also mount the eng slightly rearward, for better clearance on the front & require the driveline to be shortened. I agree with Longhhorn that the best /easiest way is to have all the factory pcs. good luck....crazyL
