A few suggestions, sorry if any of this is redundant....
Make sure you have the V8 bell housing, fly wheel, new throw out bearing and
new pilot bearing. I don't know if the pressure plates are the same?
Using an engine leveling device with the cheery picker helps.
If you can, remove the battery, radiator, exhaust pipe, and transmission
ahead of time.
Don't forget the gas pedal linkage will need to be changed.
Should only take about 3-4 hours to swap engines and be done with the cheery
picker if you has a helper for lining it all up. We swapped a V8 with bell
housing out of my wrecker and didn't remove the hood!!!
