I believe that their are some structural issues for the big block versus the
small block bodies. I remember something about reinforced shock towers and
crossmembers for the big blocks. Also some clearance problems on the shock
towers.

That engine was a factory option in '68, so yes it
will fit. It's pretty tight, changing the spark plugs
is a challange.
