You can easily mount the coil on the passenger side of the engine bay without issues, to clear some of those heat soak problems! Glad you solved your issue, I would have never guessed it would be the ECU; that is why these boards are so helpful! Happy 'Tire Smokin' Motoring :headbang:
It's nice to see a Mopar getting a second chance at life. Obviously it needs a tremendous amount of work, but it will have more hope of survival in your hands than on that trailer. Good luck on your resto journey, and i'm looking forward to the HEMI pics!
An oval air cleaner, with a shorter element would be a great choice if clearance is an issue. You still have a large filter surface area to draw air into the carburetor while keeping a low overall profile and clearing linkage.
I have a 1969 RR and the Victor intake manifold creates an environment where the carburetor (without breather) sits higher than the fender line with solid engine mounts. It really is a very tight fit, and I'm running an 2" oval air cleaner (turned horizontal) for the six pack hood to clear and...

I am sorry to say but their isn't much truth to the claim of steel cranks being put solely behind 833-4 speeds. Crankshafts were either Cast or Forged. In 1972 Chrysler started installing cast cranks in "B" and "RB" engines. Typically, if your car came from the factory with a four barrel...
Here is your mistake;
Camshaft selection.
Step down to a 272* duration, .455 lift "Purple Shaft" camshaft and you'll be fine.
If you don't currently own a Direct Connection/Mopar performance engine manual then I would recommend purchasing one. Your current part selection isn't dictating...
