Les, the '58 is a different animal from my '56, so I have nothing for you. There are a few guys on www.forwardlook.net that have done the swap, you may want to check there, too.

Well, the 440 & 727 are in, used a set of off-the-shelf Hedman headers, plenty of clearance. Did not need to modify trans. tunnel or the heater box, both of which I expected to do. Working on details right now (throttle linkage, wiring, etc.) Moparts member 66net500 fabbed up really cool motor mounts and modified the stock trans. crossmember. When I have the job done I'll start a new thread w/ photos, measurements & part #s for anyone interested in trying this. Can't wait to do a little
Very interested in this info

engine is from a 93 grand cherokee, as is most of the wiring, computer is a mopar perf 92 dokota, trans is from a van I believe and the rear is also from a grand cherokee( for the disc brakes), prop shaft is from a early A body, bolts right in Then I found some different wiring schematics on the web and started sorting it all out, used a relay/ fuse box from a jeep of the same age, everything works, even the cruise control
