Torque arm is going to be your biggest challenge. Other than that, it has been done.

SummersBrothers used to make a bolt on torque arm, but I havent seen one on the market in 10+ years...

Well you could... I am sure it would cost you about $300 for the welding of the mounts to the housing and then the straightening of the housing... post welding. But, then you still have the TA to deal with.

Besides... you can get one HELL of a lot of money for that housing by itself. My sugg would be to sell the housing and purchase what you need.

The 67-69 housing go for a mint right now. You could easily sell it on Camaros.net and/or Pro Touring.com without even batting an eye.
