Need help[ with major swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok I got a 76 swb with noe engine or trans.
and a 89 suburban 4wd 350FI/700r4. the burb is complete, well it was wrecked, body was shot and has been cut off with exception of firewall and front floorboard area, in fact you can crank it up and drive it around, runs great, just looks funny as hell driving a frame around.
See where I'm going with this? I want to take engine and all drivetrain out of suburban and swap over to my 76. I think since I have the complete donor it would be a pretty straight forward swap, am I right? I haven't just looked at it real close, but can anyone tell me are there any differences in frames(I know there are major differences in frames) as far as crossmembers mounting and front end setup that would make this more trouble than it would be worth?
