is there anything special I need to do to the block?

Yes, you will need to ensure that there's clearance between the throws on the crank and the camshaft, and you may need to notch the block for clearance on the crank throws.
Also, don't get the 400 rods - use the 5.7" rods and special pistons. You'll get more torque and less cylinder and piston skirt wear. You will also need to run a 400 harmonic balancer and flexplate (auto) or flywheel (manual).
