I'm a little confused by your terminology here.
The door "frame" usually comes with the door. It's the part that the hinges screw onto and it's notched out for the knob.
"Door Frame" is a specially cut piece off wood. It needs to be the proper width for your wall thickness. You'll need 2 pieces a couple of inches taller then the door, and 1 piece an inch wider.
The "casing" is the trim around the door that covers the joint between the frame and the wall.
I kinda think you're talking about casing here so....
Since most doors are 6 foot 6 inches high and 3 feet wide and you didn't specify how big your doors are, I'm going to go with the average.
You'll need 5 pieces of moulding 7' to 8' foot long for every door. If you're hanging a few doors , order a couple of extras in case you cut one wrong.

Is 70 Chevelle frame the same as 70 Monte Carlo?
Yes... Sort of anyway. The Monte Carlo uses a 4 door Chevelle frame even though the Monte Carlo is a 2 door car. The 4 door frame is longer than the 2 door Chevelle frame. and the wheelbase is 4 inches longer. So if you have a Monte Carlo, a 4 door Chevelle frame will work. If you have a 4 door Chevelle, a Monte Carlo frame will work. If you have a 2 door Chevelle, then you will need to use a frame from ANY 2 door GM A body except for the Monte Carlo.... The Tempest/Lemans/GTO, Cutlass, Skylark, and Chevelle all used the same frames and are completely interchangeable.
