Start by researching which oil pan closely resembles the 360 pan to fit your cross member. Then decide whether your are using a modern trans such as a t56 or you are going to adapt a old school super t10 or Muncie. Since there are not many AMX's or Javelins with ls power, Research a vehicle that has an engine bay that closely resembles yours. Then plan on adding extra time and money to your budget for the unexpected or custom parts.
