Checking out a 65 Dart GT tomorrow, what needs extra attention ?

My buddy and co worker found a nice project 68 Dart GT for 500 bucks, has a L6 but no idea which one. It's partially in boxes but supposedly all there with maybe some extras, 80% has been media blasted and painted/powdercoated .
He wants some experience on US cars and wants me to help him before I'm out of this country and I don't think it's a real bad deal.
But I don't know much about A bodies so I don't know what to look for, value wise I suppose it's not a real gem but as long as he doesn't have to spend too much on parts this could be a fun project.
In case the engine is a dud, what does he need to fit say a 318 ? Engine, trans, and everything connected, anything else? Any electrical changes that need to be made? Bigger brakes?
Any helpful input is appreciated, all other is just plain fun .  :icon_smile_big:

I'll post some pics of it tomorrow when I get back.
