The measurements of the Ford engine plus transmission were okay, but the two pods which have the plug wires (mounted at the front of the two "bumps for the overhead cam sprockets) will need to be moved. I'm considering placing them on the original radiator support. The other thing to do is have a remote oil filter, since the position interferes with the original crossmember. The nice thing about this motor is the oil pan which provides a heck of a lot of clearance for the steering mechanism.
The AODE plus the engine is so long that you only need the second support for the transmission. It does need to be moved, however. Before you get too excited, I'm still in the process with all this, but will keep you posted as things develop.
One issue is the Crown Vic rearend. The Frazer rear end was about 48 inches backplate to backplate, while the Crown Vic's about 52 inches. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Hi,
If you're thinking of a V8 conversion,
1. Think about a Ford engine- why?, because the Ford engine has the distributer close to the rad. as opposed to the firewall. I think access would be so much easier.
2. For disc brake conversion, there is an outfit down in the States who will convert your original spindles to disc brakes, and to any (Ford or GM) bolt pattern. I think Frazers had a Ford bolt pattern.
My Frazer has just been rewired form bumper to bumper (by me) and is in the process of having a Ford 4.6 litre fuel injected motor and AODE transmission (from a Crown Victoria) I also have the rear end which already has disc brakes.
Would like to hear more about your project!
