Major effort required here. You're trying to po put a 385 family engine into a car engineered for a FE family engine. Shock tower work and moving the front wheels out some probably with alot of other work as well.

My advice would be to use a 390 Edelbrock component engine that would fit and still give a bunch of power (400-450 HP). Could still use a C-6 with good result.

I have never done this. Just repeating things I've heard.
