Brent,
Everything should bolt right up without much problem. One area to look at is pre-65 blocks had different motor mount bolts. Look for 4 bolt holes instead of 2. Or do whatever will match your 427.
I am planning to something similar with my 352 out of my pickup and I do have one question about that. When you put on your lakewood scattersheild you are supposed to adjust it to be centered on the crank within a certain tolerance. I wonder is this need for adjustment due to the bellhousing manufacturing, or differences in the block? There are two methods to adjust this, you either use offset dowels that you can turn into different orientations, or you weld on new "holes" for the standard dowel that are in the right spot. Maybe we should use the offset dowel method in our case since it's less permanent and we are planning on switching engines? That's assuming blocks could be different, which seems less likely than the bellhousings coming out different. Maybe someone will comment that really knows...

Thanks, Chuck
