a Buick turbo 231v6 might almost be an easier drop in.
is this the 4v / alum intake or do you have a 2v on there? www.TAPerformance.com has performance alum heads for these in the works. should be out within the year.
about the big blocks, i agree. pretty much all of them are the same as far as swap difficulty. stay away from the 75-76 engines unless you intend to throw the heads away and buy new alums. 1970 455 would be best if you intend to run it as stock, 1971-74 455 or 1967-69 430 are the next best thing.
aside from frame pads and engine mounts you'll also need a new fan shroud for the BBB.
