4.3 liter swap for V8. 283

i bought a blazer because camaro is away for winter.

its the older 4.3 liter, not the vortec motor. 1990

i have a 283 that is sitting around and was bored and had work done to it a long time ago. i was thinking of doing a swap for the fun of it.

relativly how expensive and what all will need to be replaced?

thanks
