I just did a search with the word "swap" and came up with these. If you have more time, do a search and see what you come up with. The motor mount perches will probably be the hardest part.

You have got to change the oil pan, and the oil pump pickup. When I put the 351w in my pickup, I went to the junkyard and found a rear sump pan that had the dipstick in the pan. This is what you want since your older engine probably has the dipstick up front in the timing cover. If I were you, I would change the distributor to a duraspark unit. Then your electronic box on the fender will plug in.
