It can be done. You have to get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator so you can turn the fuel pressure from the tank down to about 6psi from 55 or so, you'll need to re-wire the entire truck almost too, the speedometer gets it signal from the rear end abs sensor not a cable. It won't be the easiest swap in the world, you'll need to fabricate mounts for the engine and trans as well.

*OR* drill out the intake manifold and weld/braze in injector bungs, add a few sensors, and make the FE big block fuel injected, and enjoy some gas mileage.
Here's a dodge intake I converted:

VW dealers sell replacement "screw in" injector bungs. so converting an intake is even easier. Drill eight holes, metric tap appropriately, slather bung threads with RTV, screw in.

Go look in the 80 to 85 forum there's a kid in there that did this. He put a 390 in an '85 where a 300 was, he had to engineer new engine perches, he was able to reuse the old 300 perches but he modified them.
