Your 67 uses a front sump. Late model 5.0s use a dual sump (both front and rear).

change the pan and pickup. Your dipstick will also need to be relocated to the timing cover. Do these engines have the serp system up front?

Use the oilpan and pickup from the other engine. Won't cost a thing. You may want to use the early timing chain cover. Otherwise, you will need to remove/drill material in the dipstick boss in the late model cover. In either case, you will need to plug the dipstick hole in the side of the engine block.

If you run the Serpentine system, you will need to modify/change your radiator. The 87 uses a reverse rotation water pump and has the outlet on the passenger side.

If you use your V-Belt system, you can keep the standard water pump and you dont have to swap the radiator.

Here are a bunch of links for additional information (Thanks to JR):
