You're going to get some good replies on that one. First, the tranny is
absolutely not up to it. Then comes fitting the engine in. You would be
waybetter off with a '91 up. biff

stockish 10 year old rebuild with 300,000 miles. It's been in my '68
Chrysler wagon for the past 20 years, and I'm working on putting a 493 in
that, so the 360 is being displaced. Since it runs so smooth, I hate to see
it go to waste.
