If you had a 67+ sedan or coupe an 1800E axle would be a bolt-in (AFAIK). Since it is an earlier car, it will take a little fabrication. And 1800E axle will be the easiest, a 140 axle will take a little more welding. I once put a 142E axle underneath my '63 122S, it involved uctting and splicing the top link with a 122-style end for the body and a 140 style end for the axle. The lower link worked as is, and the panhard rod mount had to be cut off and swapped to the other side (a step you could skip with an 1800E axle).
Then there is the issue of the various driveshaft flagne sizes. 1800E's will almost always have the largest size, 122 sedans will usually have the middle or smaller size (depending on year and who know what else).
