>>>A different motor is, well, a different motor.   That means everything 
underneath the carburetor (down to and including the oil pan) will be different.  
 Actually, I think the flywheel and clutch will interchange, but nothing else 
will.   The rest of your existing blowed-up 377 stroker becomes swap-meet 
fodder, or scrap.

Motor mounts are the same, you will need new headers though.
