Pics will be forthcoming, as soon as the block of ice encasing the garage thaws! LOL! I'm chomping at the bit myself! He threw in the good Fluid Drive trans he took out of it, as well as a ton of other extra parts.( However, I don't know what he put IN it for a tranny, I haven't been under it) I don't want to use anything on this car that wasn't around in 1955 or '56. Like I said, the whole car was done in the mid to late 80's and has been beautifully maintained up until the last 2 or 3 years, the amount of time it's been sitting undriven. What would this kind of swap entail? What trans to use, motor mounts /adapters, suspension... I'm still trying to find out what's available out there that ISN'T muscle car related....I haven't put a car together in about 20 years, and even then, none of them were mods....just stock restos. However, having both the car AND a finished motor practically dropped in my lap for next to nothing, Fate isn't speaking to me, it's SCREAMING at me!
