Well, there's no turning back now. I pulled the L6 and three speed to make room for the 360 and 5 speed. I've got the new engine and trans in place after going through them. I made a new trans crossmember and "massaged" the passenger firewall. It fits pretty well. Here's the progress pics.
You may also notice I completely rebuilt the front suspension and moved the lower spring buckets to the bottom of the A-arms. I added new aerostar springs as well. I've got the power booster and MC in place along with the clutch MC and the pedals mounted. I've got a long way to go but so far so good.
This is what happens when I start a simple re-wiring project. LOL.
