need more info than you are giving..carb or fuel injection?do you have a tranny?the brakes will work but they are smaller.it will bolt right in...it depends on what parts you have and what amount of money u have and what you want to exspect when its done

well it is easy,if you have basic now how.i have done a few of them.the engine will bolt right in.idk what trans u will use but a c4 will use the same drive shaft.minor work to the crossmember.then u just have a small amount of wiring.then change the fuel sending unit and fuel lines witch arent a big deal.really its a weekend job to do it.then after you get it running i would change the rear end the 4cyl have a 7.5 and change to the v8 rear end witch is a 8.8 posi.the ft brakes are smaller but u can see how it stops and see if u wanna change them
