So would need a different rear mount crossmember which could be fabbed, a different length driveshaft, that’s easy enough, shifter could be an issue if one didn’t want to modify their tunnel too much; I didn’t look at the details yet in your link but presume if there is a custom bell housing offered it has hydraulic throw out and a hydraulic kit for the pedal, that should work ok.

I did have the original dart piece to start with making it easy but seems like a couple of flat 1/8” plates could be fixed up to sandwich the torsion bar crossmember with other pieces added for about any height and set back needed.
