Welcome Ray. Putting the Olds engine in shouldn't be too hard to do. The wiring shouldn't be any different than if you did the same ignition/alternator upgrades with a Chevy engine. The one major stumbling block is the bellhousing bolt pattern. It it different from the Chevy engine. You'll need to find either a bellhousing with the Buick/Olds/Pontiac bolt pattern or swap to an auto trans with the same pattern. This could create some issues with rear motor mounts.
