The catch is all the fine details of the swap that everyone leaves out. What mounts to use (Holley, vs TTI vs make your own), Stock K member or?, how much of the car to cut, what fits with what (back to the mounts and k-member decision), the shift points in the trans probably don't work with the rear end in your car, wiring and more wiring, what are you doing for a speedometer, and lot more stuff you'll find that you don't even know yet.

Holley probably has the best solution for engine and trans by moving it forward a bit so there's less of the car to cut. You might consider the Holley engine control and wiring. If you used the stock stuff they give you you would need all of it and probably more will need to go into the car, because it all feeds and talks to one another. The trans wont do anything without seeing the shifter. I'm not experienced using the stock wiring straight from a car, some of the Roadkill and Gas Monkey episodes indicate the stock controllers are looking for HVAC, radio and light bulbs. Here you either program the control unit or find a simpler aftermarket solution.

If nothing else doing that swap will probably teach you patience and empty your wallet...but it is cool!
