Some of the older trucks had the clutch and brake pedals mounted on the bellhousing. They are a bear to to but I think yours has them mounted to the frame. A 292 would be relatively easy to do, maybe a bit easier than a 350, if it's open drive shaft. New motor mounts and bellhousing . If not, the trans may have to be changed, as well as the rear end. You are in a set of transition years where things changed. First question is do you have an enclosed drive shaft?
