It mostly depends on the vehicle it is being swapped in. If the vehicle had a V8 option from the factory, then it can be a very straight forward swap. If you are trying to do this in an Eagle, it'll be a bit more trouble. The motor mounts are different between the I6's and the V8's. But, if you drill an additional hole in the passenger side (IIRC) motor mount you can use the I6 mounts. Now you'll need the proper flywheel or flex-plate to go with the 360 as it is an externally balanced engine. The rest should all relatively bolt-up. If you have difficulty sourcing the proper flywheel or flex-plate, take the original I6 one to your machine shop and have it balanced for the 360ci specs.(232ci &258ci I6 engines are neutrally balanced flywheels and make for good blanks)

Hoped this helped. BTW, I personally swapped a 360 into my CJ7 and it was real easy swap.
