Ok Guys, now that you have my gray matter churning and thinking this is a viable option. I thank you but my wallet might be at you guys.

I am to assume a detailed list of needed parts would be...

Motor plate
trans plate/adaptor
oil pan
headers
crank hub

what else am I missing? this is assuming you have a carb to oil pan motor. Also no need to change the pan in you have a tube car correct?
