Sounds nuts but we are gonna do it- 5.9 and a 518 into a 63 Newport- biggest enigma is motor mounts at this point- 63 has the "floating power" type mounts, and as far as we can tell Schumacher nor anyone else makes a conversion mount. Anyone ever done it? Know of anyone we've missed who makes a mount? Ideas or advice on fab? Getting started next week. Also- close runner up to biggest enigma-best way to make the 518 work with the pushbuttons in the 63? Sure we will figure it all out eventually, but thought we'd pick some brains here to prelude our quest-lol.. Thanks in advance guys!

Well what do you know. Finally found a set of the original c body mounts- (we didn't have a set when we got body..) The ears line up perfect with the ears on the magnum block, and looks like it will bolt right in... whoda thunk it.....
