On a sorta related note, many years ago I saw a FWD Daytona converted to RWD with an LA motor in it. The owner used a SBC header with an LA flange welded on to fit the chassis. I have been looking at SBC headers that might be adaptable to my early A, way cheaper than TTI.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
