Question sbc into a 71 olds cutlass

my brother has a 71 cutlass it came with a rocket 350 but has since had a 1977-1980 delta motor put in. poor rocket 350 was a good motor (blew a rod). I was wondering if a small block chevy engine would fit in since sbc parts are easier to find and cheaper. he wants a small block so he can put a vortec head kit from scoggin dickey and an xe comp cam 268h in it and headers.

Get a set of 68-72 Chevelle frame/motor mounts & a Chevy bolt pattern trans of the same type you currently have. Everything will bolt in.
