You can elongate the trans mount holes or swap the tranny crossmember to the 1966 to 1971 B body style scope wrench up
I recommend sliding the motor back and converting the 1962 to 1964 trans to the 1965 727 tail shaft housing and output shafts you can convert to the later, better and stronger front drive shaft yokes and do away with the OEM ball and trunnion U joints wrench up scope


A list of the benefits?:

Moving the engine back was good when it had no HP
