I assume you are working with a manual transmission? If so all you will need is a bell housing off of a 300 six or 302/351W/351C as these engine use the same bolt pattern on the bell housing. That will then bolt right up to your transmission. <O

As far as the engine goes, the same engine perches will work just move them to another set of holes on the cross member. On my pickup and to the best of my knowledge the holes are already drilled, you just need to relocate the perches. Then the motor mounts on the 300 six will drop right in on the engine perches.<O</O
If you are working with an automatic transmission then you will need to replace the entire transmission as the one used behind the 360 will be a C-6 and the bell housing is all one piece cast into the transmission housing. The C-4 used behind the 240/300 six and 302/351W/351C had a removable bell housing.<O</O
I hope this helps you out.<O</O

You know the more I thought about it... I was incorrect, the "C" does have the small block pattern.
