That is a tr6.
The frames are pretty flexible at best. The differential mounts can get sloppy and that is a body off repair.

Ah yes....the Aston Martin TR350!
Seller's description
1970 Triumph TR6 with 41k miles PROJECT CAR WITH CHEVY 350 V8 and FOUR SPEED MANUAL Please read before asking any questions. PRICE is FIXED so low offers are ignored. Is it available messages are also ignored. I purchased this uncompleted project car and do not know any details except what can be visually derived. Does not run or drive. Looks like the motor and trans are mounted. Needs a rear differential (it is missing) and the steering sorted (also missing parts). Roll bar installed. Outer body is rough but engine bay and cab chassis looks solid. The trunk is full of spares. Clear title in hand. I can deliver for $100 plus $1 per mile (round trip total) Ran out of time to start on the project, as all our attention is focused on completing an SCCA race car for next season.

Thank you, but we can't edit Titles.
TBH, $1500 for that is a pretty good price. That looks like a lot of fun for the $, even if you have to put another grand or two into it.
For frames, there is always the Rat-co option. Being made-to-order, I'm sure they could make one already set up for a SBC. Of course, as such they are not cheap (many times the price of this car).
Lads, it has a tow ball on the bumper, ha!
That's only 20k in parts, and 1000 man hours away from being a nice car :-) With that amount of rust visible on pretty much every panel, I'd be shocked if that chassis didn't need significant work. As others have mentioned the frame was not exactly stiff even when completely rust free. Interesting find though.
If I wanted to build a V8 TR6 that is not a bad entry price.
The old school V8 would go in favour of an LS and the rear would be changed from Triumph IRS to ANYTHING else that I could fabricate in place. Front suspension kinda sucks also, so would have a look at options there. Along withe the frame.
A fun part of any TR6 swap will be routing the exhaust. The original is packed in with quite the tight and torturous routing and you will requires at least the same amount of pipe artistry and accuracy to build your own.
