How Hard is a 5.7L swap on a Gen II??

So I was wondering how hard a 5.7L swap would be on my truck.... The problem is, there have been a lot of miles put on it here recently by my wife, and she tends to run on E alot...lol I fear there isntmuch life (20-30Ktops) left in my poor poor 4.3L....... but it seems that I can get a new5.7L just as cheap, if not cheaper, than a new 4.3L....... so I figure if I do have to replace it in the near future I just as well go bigger if it can be easily done..... let me know........
