Looks good to me. Proper internal baffling is a very important part when it comes to fuel tanks. If you reduce the height of the tank an inch or two compared to the stock tank it would give a little more room for seat installation.
I would have your suspension and steering in before mocking up the motor too much. It's also good to have the front suspension sitting at full stuff so you can check all your clearances. Also make sure your motor and trans is perpendicular with the frame rails.
When I put the Dana 60, 3-link and 350 in my FJ40, the bottom of the oil-pan is the same elevation as the bottom of the frame, I used a full-width truss on the Dana 60 so the top of the axle is the same elevation all the way across. The top link mount is between the motor and frame rail on the driver side.
Consider carefully if you ever want to have air conditioning. If so that will force you to move the radiator back about 2" from stock.
