63 c10 engine swap.

Looking for some advice on swapping an engine into my 1963 c10
Currently have the factory fitted 292 and 3 speed +overdrive trans.

I'm located in the U.K. And finding a decent Small block isn't so easy.
Basically I've found a really nice low miles late small block. I believe it is the 86-95 engine ( 5.7 LG sgi) casting number 14093638

Realise I will need to find a v8 motor mounting tower. But Does anybody know if my existing bell housing and flywheel/ starter will work with this year of v8?

I also intend to add script covers and rams horn manifolds to get the look of an older engine. I intend to buy a edelbrock manifold with oil filler/breather and add a PCV valve to the rear of a valve cover.

Can anybody see any issues with my plans before I make an expensive mistake?
Thanks in advance
