The 360 needs...
2wd motor mounts
rear sump oil pan
correctly balanced flywheel
sb bell housing to mate to your 4 speed
different radiator

Went through this 4 years ago. You'll also need:
radiator
radiator hoses
fuel line
clutch linkage
clutch disc
pressure plate
exhaust
alternator and power steering brackets

It's fairly straightforward. Your transmission will survive just fine (I'm assuming its the A833OD like mine has)behind the 360 if you don't drag race it or try to do anything extreme.
