Sanity check re engine swap options/planning

I did my first engine swap when I was 16 years old. Put a Ford 351C engine in a 1956 F-100 pickup truck. Had to work in the driveway and the only tools I had were a hand me down set from my dad that fit in a fishing tackle box. It took me most of a year but I did get it running and driving. It wasn't pretty but it worked well enough to be my daily driver in high school. Looking back I'd say it wasn't a safe ride, but I didn't know any better at the time. So yeah, it can be done, but the results might not be pretty.
