    Good looking motor, but it appears to be a truck engine. Hope you have your original car engine. You will need to swap bellhousing, thermostat hsg, water pump and fan, and oil pan, and discard the front mount in lieu of the car side mounts. Clutch disc is probably wrong also. Dipstick may need attention also, which may require a change in timing cover. Can't remember for sure on that. Good luck and have fun.
