I bought a 66 notch with no drivetrain, being a dumb kid with a 351C/fmx I thought I'd jam it in. Didn't fit so I took a torch and sledgehammer and beat the inner shock towers flat. Made angle iron mounts and voila! Went 50ft up the road and the steering made a hard right?? The upper arm twisted right around so pulled engine back out, straightened the arm by eye and welded 1/8" plate steel over the smashed in ribs in the shock towers.
Headers from a 71 mustang fit with a little tweaking. Ugly,loud but damn it was fast! LOL!
