cranks between stick and auto are different auto cranks not drilled for pilot bearing, [can be drilled].possible trouble with right motor mount [chrysler made a special one] oil pan should be checked for clearance,can use pan and oil pickup off old engine..would use old distributor and carb if carb fits saves lot of computer hookup problems.use flex plate and t converter off truck if automatic.if 78 has air pump might have to make special exaust pipe to match manifolds,70 manifolds will bolt on ,but look out for second exaust hole on 78 if there exaust will leak.it is small hole below large passage in heads and manifolds.
