When you say "box the frame" are you talking about welding reinforcements around the mounts?
Close the frame in by welding plates in

Also, what sort of transmission would you hook up to that? I definitely want a manual, but I also want a good overdrive for highway driving...What should I look for?
You can use an NV4500 from behind a dodge easily. I plan on using the SM465 that came behind it with a gear vendors unit so I can split gears.
You can use a New Process or Eaton Trans up to the SAE 3 Bellhousing adapter.
These engines came with
Turbo 400s and SM465s in P30 trucks
Ford T19s in Freightliner Step Vans
