Tricks/suggestions for installing a BBF in a Uni

You folks have been good with supplying pictures and info on my other "issues" with my 62 Uni I did several searches and either didn't use the correct terminology or it just ain't out there.

I've slid (almost needing lubricant) the 77 460/C6 into the engine bay after trimming the original rear engine/transmission support for clearance. I "think" the pan will JUST clear the beam axle at full compression and the downward angle seems close to correct to match the rear axle up angle. I plan on using rubber mounts that the 302 was mounted with (have to make the engine bracket).

Here is a couple of pictures, any suggestions on things I may have missed or better ideas?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT I've been thinking of the CPP power steering box but....I have no idea how it compares in size to the the stock box, after the pictures were taken I reinstalled the steering box and it clears pretty well but it will really need power steering.
