Will it fit in any of the 24 stud blocks, '39 on? Anything special you need to know or parts to use? Thanks...

Not trying to be cold here, but there's (rightfully) books on the subject, you're asking a big question... I've read several of them, recomend you do also...

Use the main bearings native to the block. Use the rear seal retainer native to the crank.

The seal sleeve on the late crank nose may have to be removed and/or the crank nose shortened to allow use of earlier water pumps and pulley. Depends on how you are going to set it up with your choice of chassis and fan.
