You are contemplating a whole lot of work, expense and risk of building a nightmare depending on your skills.

Swapping the entire 60 chassis for a later A arm/coil spring style will have many more aftermarket suspension/brake upgrade opportunities. Torsion bar is a good front suspension but little or no mods/upgrade available.
I concur with Ken's assessment. If I were you, I'd just concentrate on what you've already got. You don't say if the V6 is still in it, or, if it is, what kind of condition it's in. Most of us here on the forum are all about keeping our V6s and keeping them running. If your V6 is already gone, you may be able to find a replacement -- they are still out there.

Let us know more about what you've got, and post some photos too.

Good luck with your project!
