I am going to be cutting the frame, probably just behind the A-arm mounts and adding a couple of pieces of rectangular tubing to mount a Diplomat/Caravelle front suspension. That set up includes mounts for the 360 V*. By my tape measure calculations with the front spindles in the proper place the engine should fit in with the same clearances I have with the stock 6. If you want to leave the frame stock a motor plate may be the way to go on these.
Regards your comment about a Dodge butt end, well, I like the Plodge because of the 115 inch wheelbase. It has about a 300 or so pound weight advantage over the 120 inch Dodge chassis. I am hoping mine will top out at about 3150 lbs with the changes I am making. I haven't decided about a shifter yet. I may put in a newer collapsible column. If I go floor shifter I like the B&M Star shifter as its cable operated and you don't have to cut a hole in the floor. Its much easier to control the sound with them. Mine was a three on the tree orginally.

Hey Marty it is looking good!
I am doing a similar swap, any info you can provide on the motor mount setup
that you used would be helpful.
Did you retain the pushbuttons or g owith a floor shifter for the trans.
Thanks,

If you go to the web site and to the page Pictures of running car under
Dodge.jpg you will see a merged picture of some different angles of the car.
Have started the tear down of the parts car. Fastened some brackets to
replace the rear shocks so that the frame stays at stock loaded height after
the bod!
y comes off.
