The reason I asked is because 19K doesn't seem bad at all to me from what I've been seeing. A nice body...and it drives, lol. I've seen other cars decently priced coming from CA. Perhaps it's because they were made there and that there are a lot of them. Who knows..........

your engine is going to need different mounts (no big deal), your tranny tunnel will need to be cut to fit the new tranny properly and you're out of luck with everything else. the suspensions in the two cars are 100% different from eachother

Welcome,
Just a question, how much would you be asking for the engine and tranny? If the price is right, I might be interested...Thanks in advance...Clint

i will probably be getting rid of the motor and transmission, but in all honesty i wouldnt know how much to ask for them becaucse they both run great but arent very powerfull maybe around 180-200hp i dont think its putting out more than that.

but the car as is does a 0-60 in about 6-7 seconds but it feels like for ever for me being that my buick will do it in 3-3.5 seconds lol.

ohh one more thing
its also running a 1.75-2.0 exhaust i can wrap my hand around it and my fingers touch it looks very restrctive

The tranny tunnel will definately have to be modified. The crossmember will need to be moved or a new one purchased. If you're looking to change the front and rear ends... whole lot a money! It's not just a simple bolt-up application. Why not do a mini-tub conversion. You can still keep the basic components and squeeze a little more rubber underneath without having to hack-out the entire rear section. The front end is another major job. Buy a new subframe or swap in another one like I'm doing ('71 Camaro) into a 1969.
I'd show you pictures but the video has everything on it.
Be really careful when taking the LT1 engine apart. That motor probably has cast iron heads and low compression pistons. You need the computer with it to get it all to work though.

You have a ton of work ahead of you. I know. I'm doing that right now. My engine's in the shop right now.
