The hard part will be mounting a power steering pump and getting vacume to the brakes it would be cool though! All depends on your fabrication skilll

I have a 79 crew that has a 354 in it. It had a spicer 5 speed behind it it was a crude conversion but I just bought the truck because it was clean and an arizona truck. That engine weighs around 1100 lbs.
