It'll be some work and $$$, you'll have to change the motor mounts, oil pan, exhaust manifolds, maybe radiator. The biggest thing probably would be your transmission, you'll have to find a BB auto trans or a bellhousing, flywheel if a 4speed truck And you'll get about 8-10 mpg, which is what I usually get, SO don't get to drive it too much any more... Sometimes it's better to have a bigblock donor parts truck to scavenge parts out of. Small block parts are plentiful and big block stuff is getting scarce and pricey.
'72 up yrs engines I think have hardened valve seats for your unleaded gas.
Good luck!
