How did you gather I was referring to YOU......because I wasn't......so I don't suppose YOU are anything, other than apparently sensitive........LOL!!!
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.

A guy near me did just that,takes it to all mopar shows...They always want to turn him away at the gate until he tells them what's under the hood.
Is it green by chance? I have seen that car before.
Yes, don't know him real well, lives in Owatona.

Were you able to hook everything into the stock wiring for lights, ect? Did doing away with fuel injection make anything in the rest of the wiring go funky? Streetable?
Keep all the stock wiring for the lights. turn and brakes... then the engine harness is basicaly separate .. I've put chevy engines in lots of different cars/trucks for customers.. this is just your basic hot rodding
But electronic fuel injection goes into the wiring harness tho. Does leaving the connections to the injectors open cause problems?
Other than the fault code staying lit on the dash it wasnt a problem... I was told the guy/customer finally painted the light black

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. Mark

I put a 440 W8 motor in a 88 Mustang about 3 years ago.
I remember this build how did it turn out? Those fox body's have good chassis on them.

As hard as it is to admit... I had a 56 Chevy 210 post sitting in my backyard for two years awaiting a 440/727 swap, but eventually a Chevy guy wanted it more than I did.
My youngest brother has a passion for AMCs and owns a 70 AMX, and 76 Gremlin, both with BB Mopar/ glide combos.

I've been playing with the idea of putting a GenIII hemi in one of my Rx-7's. I can buy a 6.4 crate motor now for cheaper than what it costs just for parts to rebuild a 3 rotor.
Exactly the car I was thinking about.. Hows the rear suspension on those?
