I would use a motor plate, they are like 100 bucks, I have a brand new one if ya need. Also the stock brake booster will not work as the valve cover will interfere. There are headers made for big block fox's and you use a double hump truck oil pan. other than that it fits like it was from the factory

Well, I would suggest (if the funds are available) to go with a tubular front suspension to try to knock some of that added weight from the motor off.
