Fellers,

First off, I apologize for asking SO many questions about different engine swaps.  I'm real limited to what I can do because of where I live, and there ain't anyone around to help me!  Thanks for understanding!  :)

Looks like my 318 Poly is going to need a full and complete rebuild, which will cost more than I can spend right now.  Because of that, I've decided to drop a newer, running 360 that I can get for cheap, into the car (and still keep the original 318 Poly for a later rebuild).  I'll be using the engine mount adapter kit from Schumacher.

Transmission - will my original 64 trans bolt right up to a newer 360?  I've heard I'll need to get the torque converter balanced, but that otherwise it shouldn't be a problem.

Exhaust manifold - can I use the original 318 manifolds that are in the car, or do I need to get a set of 360 manifolds (or even better, some headers from TTI)?

Anything you experienced guys can tell me, especially something I might be overlooking, would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Andy
