Note to Poor in Miami: Don't buy anything until you figure out how you're going to sell it.
Before I would spend one thin dime on this project, I'd think long and hard about how many fellows there might be out there who would be interested in a '49 Dodge with a frame and engine swap. Be real with yourself. You could easily change your status to Broke in Miami if you're not careful.

I'm most likely to keep the car, that's why I'm not very worried about the frame swap. Although to be honest I'm also thinking about just doing any frame repairs and keeping the original engine and tranny, they are both in the car and seem to be running. I still have a lot to consider so any input is very much appreciated.
