To mount a F13 on a big block you have to bore and tap the big block flywheel ( flat type only ) in order to screw the full F13 clutch kit on it (with possibly need of spacer on the clutch bolt, depends of the flywheel). So you can bolt the F13 on the big block.
Use only Valeo clutch kit to be sure its work.
but personally i'd go for the f16cr or f20
