It's a direct fit. Hardest part is exhaust. Very few if any factory exhaust manifolds will fit. The Hooker swap headers are not cheap and are not a perfect fit. Other have had limited success with some more generic headers.
Don't expect the rest of your drivetrain to survive for long.

I doubt it's worth investing any kind of money into a T5 for a BBC unless you're going to granny drive it. T56 can be made to handle the torque.
