Some of the parts such as the vacuum pump are not very common. Find out what the rear end gears are. The 6.2 doesn't like high RPMs. IIRC the happy place is 2000-2400 and they are limited to about 3600. With the proper rear gears or overdrive transmission, should make a good highway cruiser.

Make sure the starter has the front end support. Often missing and a missing one can lead to broken starter bolts or engine casting at the starter pads.
