Nice little swap. There are a few things you may need to get everything working, this is quite an undertaking if not real familiar with the components and setup of doing this project, but take it piece by piece. Starting with the motor mounts, get the engine and trans in place, may be others that have done the swap, or another company out there that has the needed motor mounts to make it work, this helps, along with the transmission mounting. Moving a radiator is not difficult, but something easier may be simply installing an electric radiator fan and removing the fan from the engine itself for clearance. Exhaust will need to be redone, a local shop can handle that, 2.0 - 2.5 inch exhaust with a crossover (or H pipe design) is the best, Transmission will require the yoke out the transmission from the 727/904 along with the U-joint attached to the driveline in the truck, this isn't a difficult swap for a person to machine and fit that has a lathe and a welder. There are other things, so if you have questions, ask.
Should be a very fun and peppy little swap. Keep us informed.
