I figured I would show this for anyone doing the same swap. I put a 1979 360 into my 65 Belvedere wagon. I used the Transdapt motor mounts to alter the motor positioning. The bolts they came with are too long. I had to use shorter bolts on the bosses. I also had to grind a bit off the rubber mount.

The headers are Shummacher tri-ys. All I had to do was ding the #2 cylinder pipe on the passenger side for clearance around the shock tower. I also used the Mr. Gasket oil filter relo kit. The stock mount would have the filter right on top of the pipes. The drivers side, that I thought would be the problem area, just dropped right in. Very easy. I just wrapped the areas that were close to the starter and oil filter hoses in header wrap to help out with the heat.

That's pretty much it.

They weren't cheap but the fitment was well worth it.

yeah, i just saw the price.. i don't want them soo bad now :) I saw CPwebstore has TTi's for less than 700 i might grab those although that price seems way too low to be true
 
Mine are ceramic coated so that added a lot to the price. Shipped to my door they were $1200. I tried for the TTis but they were back ordered for months. Shumacher had them in stock and shipped out the next day. I got them in about a week.
