These engines have unbelievable torque so horsepower isn’t the only consideration. Since the 356 is a bigger, longer engine you may even have difficulties fitting it to a 120 frame. Being heavier, the senior cars (160 and 180) also had beefier suspension all around although I’m not sure if the frame itself was more heavily built.
