383/400 swap?

Has anyone compiled a list of what is needed to swap in a 383/400. Why not go a 440? I have access to a couple B motors in my play money price range. Can one of you point me to a YouTube where it’s been done that would give me an idea… I thought ….motor/trans/b-body rear… but what about the radiator inlet/outlet, motor mounts, firewall clearance, trans mount, trans tunnel clearance… the “other” stuff.

Thanks
