Any vehicle with a small-block Chevy V8.

Seriously, any GM car from the 70's onward that was available with a V8 should be okay with minimal work (possibly lower mounts and some drilling). Anything that's not GM - well figure it out.

We did a Chevy 350 conversion on a 1975 Datsun 280Z back in the 80s - it was pretty much drop-in as far as the physical aspect was concerned - the driveshaft did need to be shortened and we needed to fabricate a crossmember for the M22 rock crusher tranny - we also had to weld the bottom half of a Datsun mount to the top half of a Chevy mount, but the mount locations were all in the same place. I always wondered if the Nissan engineers designed this car around a small block - the engine fit in like the car was made for it. We did have to fabricate the exhaust for it, however.

SBC engines of all displacemants have been fit in everything from Studebakers and Jeeps to mustangs and Datsun/Nissans. Google a little.
