you wont need a computer for a carb setup. just put a different intake on and drop it in. wire up your sensors to after market guages. shouldnt be too hard.

you will need frame mounts and motor mounts to swap it

a c4 will bolt up. i dunno about the drive shaft though. your best bet would be finding someone who had a 66 with a factory v8 that theyre parting out.
