Definitely need the frame extensions on the driver's side if you don't have them. My cross member is from a th350 and it looks like the passenger side needs to move back as well. Could find the right sized metal and extend it back as far as needed.

The 4 doors have this second one (for diesel v8). Do the 2 doors have it?

My frame rail will need a little adjustment though - my parts car isn't damaged like that.

The extensions showed up on most cars in 84. There are a few exceptions, but I can't think of them now. But you have it in that picture. Should be a second set of mounting points close to the body mount in the picture.
