Should be a straight forward swap depending on the car it's going into, ie: exhaust manifold clearance, K member mounts etc etc.

It is the same block, maybe a different set of heads depending on the years. If you already have a 440 in the car, then you can just swap the two motors.

Check the oil pans you may have clearance issues, I just had to swap this weekend the pan off my 440 for the one on my 400, different body styles that I didn't realize. Not a big deal but could cause a headache.
