SL6 to V8 swap

Hey guys, just bought a 68 Barracuda with a slant six and a 3 on the tree. Already have a slant as my daily driver and was looking to make this my v8 project. I'm not totally up on the v8 stuff since I've never owned one so I wanted to come here first to get some information. I'm kind of set on wanting a 340 with a 4 speed OD transmission and an 8 3/4 rear end with 3.23 gears. I was just wondering if you guys had any tips? Like are there certain rear ends I should be getting or what to look out for. Also I'm noticing prices are just all over the place on this stuff. I'm just looking for everything to be in running condition, not brand new or anything. What kind of prices should I be looking for (especially on the rear end) so I don't get gipped or end up having to spend triple just to get it rebuilt? Thanks
