Not Ranked
Not a big deal. If you have the body that would make it easier for sure but it is not manditory. I made the same swith 14 years ago and I don't think it was a big deal. Not sure you want the T5 in it though (might be a little weak). Everything wrench said is true (headers, driveshaft, motor mounts and springs) but if you are considering doing this you knew there would be some up charges. Another point you might want to look at is your radiator. Big blocks CAN run a little more heat than a small block depending on your bore. One of my first engines was bored .060 and I couldn't go thru a McDonalds without it getting hot. MY 428 was .030 and I never had an issue with it nor does my FE 427 which is bored .015 over. If you want to be happy with your ride be sure you spend your money in the right places. Good Luck with your decision.

P.S. you may also need to notch your frame slightly where your starter might come in contact with it on the passenger side.
