Probably coolest "swap" I have done was on a 40s Studebaker pickup. Bought a wrecked 73 Satellite 360 "donor" car. Put motor, trans, rear, rad, etc in Studebaker. Built a linkage for stock column shifter to work trans. Used mopar brake assy on firewall, throttle pedal and cable.........everything we could from Satellite. It was pretty cool. Truck looked totally restored until you opened the hood Not sensitive. Just replying to a comment that looked like was aimed at what I said.

Since there were not a lot of High Performance options in the original engines for my car (flat head 4 or 6 cylinder)crossbreeding was a necessity! This car has had a blown Olds, Hydro a SBC 4 peed,a BBC Power glide, and the current Hemi /727/ Dana combo. I am pretty happy with the way it is now.I cannot think of anything I would rather have under the hood.

She is now back apart hoping she will put out some more But I am not sure she was worth the time effort and money to get her to this point. But if someone were looking for a BBM that makes some steam and was willing to pay a fair price for our R&D time I'm listening "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."

I have also toyed with the idea of doing a sbm or gen 3 hemi into an old RX7 or 240SX. A guy local here has on old RX7 with a mild LS and T56, runs 10.40s wheels up every pass.
