Is this an easy swap? What all is involved? I found one in the paper today for $100.

If it's made or already been modified for a third gen then it's an easy swap. If it isn't then all the mounting brackets need to be welded to the new housing, brakes changed or modified and a mounting point for the torque arm need to be fabricated or purchased. That's also assuming the diff is the correct width.

383 stroker (carbed) with double hump cast iron heads and pump gas
454 Big Block almost ready for the 2001 racing season

Best results before the 383 blew up
Best ET on a time slip: 11.857 altitude corrected to 11.163
Best MPH on a time slip: 117.87 altitude corrected to 126.10
Altitude corrected rear wheel HP based on power to weight ratio: 476.5
Best 60 foot: 1.662

Racing at 3500 feet elevation but most race days it's over 5000 feet density altitude!

No I'm sure it hasn't been set up for a third gen.
