Yes the measurements are incorrect. The distance from radiator to front mount and the method to locate the rear crossmember are wrong.
I left the front mounts and the K member loose with the engine and transmission mounted,the radiator in a nd thr body on. I juggled the K member back and forth to get firewall clearnce,radiator clearance . After that was set,I measured the lenghth of the torque tube needed.

The torque tube locates everything else unless you want to change the location of the rear axle.

Good luck,this seems like a difficult job.
