yes but you will need the motor towers out of a 460 truck and all the accessory brackets
for a truck motor and exhaust manifolds probably all out of a 73-79 era truck be cause I know those clear the frame. or you could go with L&L specialties a place in Kansas that carries all kinds of kit stuff to make this swap. just google them.
