Default Advice on buying LS 364/440 Crate Engine

I have to first disclose that I dont do too well when it comes to engine talk. With that being said, i have a project that I need to get an engine for and my builder suggested this engine. I have found it for 5k which is a pretty good deal. Im not sure of what tech questions to ask but here are a few others.
Are there any issues with this engine that I should know?
What parts will I need to make it run after I get the crate?
Can i run a th400 with this engine?
Are there engine covers for this engine?
Any issues forseen installing into 70 kg 2wd blazer (pictured) with respect to pan clearance?
Thanks for the info
BTW, im not stuck on one store to get it so id be willing to support any vendors in here who may sell this thing for the same price.

Default 364

the motor is pretty good i havent run into any issues as of yet yes it will bolt to a th400 also if the pan doesent fit you can always run a corvette or f-body pan it bolts right up the only drawback to any ls motor are the rotating assembly is only good to around 500 horses some people have had them higher but why risk it if it is forged then dont worry about it you really should buy from a vendor in here though they are great guys and they will work with you.

yeah if youre going to be buying the motor i would see how much it would cost to have it forged.. i see no point in puttin in a stock motor while its out already.. (if you hae the money) but yes a 364 would be nice. what are you planning on doing to it?
