what does your truck have for a transmission , auto or manual? depending on trans it could be real easy. as per wiring that is straight forward. sense there is no computers to mess with

rip- you will need to get a flywheel to match your engine. wiring should not be a problem sense you are not messing with the trans. You may want to check the bolt pattern on your tans. to see if it matches your new engine you can do that by useing the plate betweenthe trans. and engine. Hope that helps.
catalina- you will need to check your bolt pattern also and more than likely get a new clutch and flywheel.. If bolt pattern is wrong you can change your bellhousing by removeing the 4 bolts from inside the bellhouseing where it attaches to the trans. hope it helps

the 390 and 302 are different bolt patterns. also the c6 doesn't have a removable bellhousing. you would need a small block c6 which would fit a 302. the 390 is a big block bolt pattern

you will need the frame mounts for a windsor application.(where the motor mount bolts)exhuast,trans will bolt no problem.might want to see if tq convertor will fit in end of crank(should fit)make sure you get the 302 fly wheel for the bell housing you have and harmonic balancer.a couple diff balancers and fly wheels.and no the 390 is not a bb,it's in the FE family.
