Default 401 Swap Out

Hello all,
I'm currently running a 305D in my 61 1500 stepside with a 3 speed standard on the column.

As has been the case for awhile, the engine needs some work. However, I'm hoping to have a backup engine sorted before I pull the current one (I don't want to have the old man down and out for too long while I'm working on the current engine).

Anyway, long story short, if I came across a 401, how much of a nightmare would it be to swap it in? Considering the beasts they were originally designed for, would a 401 even fit?
