there are a lot of issues doing this swap , the engine comaprtment is a lot smaller so standard headers may not fit , it will be tough to find a bolt in K frame to swap the V8 in , Possibly Schumakers may have a conversion mount to do this , not sure though , virtually any A body 8 3/4 diff from 64- 72 will bolt in but it will have the smaller 4" bolt circle

Strangely enough I have a magazine somewhere in my house documenting how to perform a |6 to 318/340/360 swap on a valiant...
