Im not sure if the tranny will bolt up, it probably will. But the swap should be as simple as pulling the motor out and putting the other one in. Alot of it will be self explanatory as you go through, but youll probably need new lines, hoses, etc. Your question is way to broad, but the answer you need is that it will all fit, you just have to get in there and "learn as you go". But as far as the motor rebuild goes, if you dont know how to pull and swap, then you should have a shop rebuild it for you.
