need to swap:

wire harness
computer
p/s pump
springs
shocks
front and rear sway bars
rear lower control arms
fuel lines
tach
exhaust
rear brake lines
rear axle
driveshaft
front brakes
fuel pump

I probably missed a couple of things too

the 7.5 will work for a while as long as you baby it, but dont expect it to last too long.....

Ive got one in my '86 project... when shes running gonna see how long it'll go especially since the car has 230,000 miles on it already
