Any small block Chevy will fit in there.

yeah, you can fit any SBC in there no problem... brakes wise.... look for either off a newer chevy brakes with the same lug pattern, for the front... for the rear depending on what the brake setup is you can either get larger brakes and they'll swap on or you might need new axles setup for larger brakes.... or you can spend some green and get a disc brake conversion
