There’s a guy over on Moparts on the Web - Main Index (user name high impact) that has a 37 Dodge coupe with a 383/4 speed combination that might have some good information for you.

He used a Mustang II front suspension which in my opinion would definitely be something worth looking into provided your original frame is solid. I think you may find the downside to doing a Volare swap will be the track width being too wide for 37 Dodge body and something to look at also if contemplating a Dakota swap.

Just my 2 cents.
