Not sure what transmission you have behind that 455, but going to the later sub frame would also make using any late style transmission pretty easy.
IMO it's easier to just take all the older technology stuff off and swap it to later model, than trying to find ancient 58 parts and still end up with older technology, but I appreciate cars that handle well, and can corner well........ 
If you decide to do the G body front clip as outlined above the frame rails are closer together than the F body, making the Pontiac engine a tighter fit.
In the end it's your car, and your choice of which way you decide to go, good luck with whatever you decide.....

I totally agree with you 58 arms are not out there so it’s kinda of pointless to even do that. So the F body is better choice, I’m game for more room! As far as the mounts the work just starts adding up and down time on my lift lol. You know of any specs out there to make this a little easier or is it plumb bobs & levels and tape measures time lol
