He is using a long tail 400. Might have to drill new holes in the frame. The driveshaft is going to be a custom job.

Because I think the long tail 400 moves the mount further back than the frame has holes for.

You have to put the engine and trans in the car first bolt the motor bolts in. Support the trans with a jack and put the crossmember in. Then you will find out where to drill the new holes might luck out not have to drill, but if you do no big deal.
