1976 corvette sbc swap into 1997 tahoe

[Tigershark Corvette]

I bought a 76 corvette with a new 425 hp 383 stroker sbc. I pulled the motor during restoration, and put in a 700 hp BBC. My 1997 Tahoe has a vortex 350 in it and *has 250,000 miles and motor is sloppy at start up til oil gets up in the motor. My question is, can I do the swap without any major part fit issues. Will the starter bolt up and will the intake fit with the old heads and block?*Or should I get a new intake since the motor is high performance. Also, the pulleys and brackets all fit? Just wondering what sort of issues I can expect. Thanks for any help, starting restoration in two weeks. *

It's also 4x4 and a LS

I was going to keep the fuel injection so I was planning to switch the pulleys, all brackets, starter and intake from vortec to 76 corvette small block. Is this a simple bolt together deal?

Doubt the heads will work with the intake. Might be a neat swap.... but you are going to run into much more work than that. the crank sensor wont work either... plus more...

Yeah, would be one hell of a swap, but would be hell making it work I think....
