Default Gen 1 swap question

Hey guys i need to know from the guys who have done this swap or know alot about this swap.

I have the chance to pick up a UMI K-member for an LT1 for really cheap. And im about to swap in a 400 sbc and need to know if i can make it work?

I know they make a sbc/BBC conversion K-member for our cars but can i make the regular one work without a ton of mods?

They should line up fine. From every LTx block I've seen they all have the traditional sbc mounting pad.
