plan on a diff tranny and custom driveshaft if ur goin with that. so its not just diff motor mounts. also will need a diff oil pan, radiator (chevy has diff inlets/outlets), motor and tranny mounts, tranny crossmember, custom headers, custom exhaust. not worth it

You'll also have to do some rewiring for the chevy alternator. Power steering hose ends will have to be modified to fit into your rack.
You will need to re-route some fuel lines because chevy has the fuel pump on the passenger side. You can use your ford tranny crossmember but it will have to be slightly modified for the tranny mounts to line up.
The front yoke will have to be cut off and have a chevy yoke welded on. There is a special crossmember you'll need for the engine mounts that gets welded between the frame rails because the chevy engine mounts will be further towards the front of the car.
It will costs some money to do it but I don't think it's worth it. I would spend the extra time and money to fit a 351w or cleveland in there.

putting a 350 in your car is like mixing man and women parts...it can be done but its real ugly at the end...in other words don;t do it

Even though performance parts are cheaper for chevy engines, you wouldn't gain much or save any more money doing the rigging.

If you're going to do it then it should be a "clean" job and not some hack job. I still say to spend the money for the 351w swap. It's much cheaper than a chevy swap.
