Driftwood- I replied to your other posts; here is what my 68 Firebird frame looks like after some surgery. The biggest pain is going to be the oil pan- we're trimming off all but the bottom 1.5" next to the flange & where the A/C bolts to the pan. I'm working with ARE to do a cast rear-sump pan that can be used wet or dry sump (so we can sell to some of the Comp Eliminator guys). The good thing- you don't need a deep pan as the block & caps are side-skirted & the crank is well above the block's pan flange.
Here's the engine installed with our side mounts. The mounts were real easy (I have templates), but it is tall. The oil fill cap adds 3/4" to the front. I'm going to use an aluminum cover from an 06 & swap the cap to the middle / back.
