It's pretty straightforward. The most annoying part is getting a carburetor that will match up to all the linkages properly. I couldn't find one so I had to get clever--good thing I know my way around Quadrajets.
If you can find the right carb it should be a simple swap. I performed a lot of maintence while I was in there--replaced the valve cover gaskets, unclogged two oil return holes in the heads, replaced all the vacuum lines, decarboned the intake, etc. etc.
