Ken,
the 360 that Chrysler made is the same one they use now in the Jeeps and 
such, as long as it isnt the truck block it will fit in your Gremmie, the 
frot shocks and springs will need to be a heavier type bacause of the weight 
difference between the 6 and 8 cylinder engines. if you want a good 360 look 
in an older Jeep cherokee about 1974-79, it had the ford intake and chrysler 
exhaust on it and is still a powerful engine, the 401 is basically a Chevy 
400 punched out to a 401 and because of this is a weaker block. the T-10 
will fit the standard rear end as long as the splines in the tailshaft and 
driveline match, if you buy a T-10 from a wrecking yard, grab the driveline 
if possible, you will need it. as far as the front brake conversion, Bendix 
makes a conversion kit that you can get from a hot rod shop, its a bit 
pricey but if its what you wanna do then thats how I would do it, short from 
robbing a Monarch of its spindles and things (sorry Bart :-) ). aside from 
that have fun on your car and will talk to you later.
