Yes. The parts will swap over to your existing front crossmember or you can swap the entire crossmember from the donor frame after re-drilling a couple of holes.

whats it worth, iono if hes willing to sell or not, but ima ask later today, i just woke up lol
Ask what he'll take for it (maybe he'll give it to you just to have it gone). If he want's compensation, offer $150 & see how it goes.

i dont think ima buy the rear axle....with it not being a direct bolt in, i'll just have my axles done into 5 lug, how expensive will that be?
ECE & CPP offer '5-lug axle swap kits' that have new, stronger axles that fit w/the proper drums. Check their sites for cost.....

how hard is it to put his disc on mine, and do yall recomend driving 5 lug front, and 6 lug rear for a long period of time
Like was mentioned, the disc swap is pretty easy. The 5-lug front & 6-lug rear won't matter except for the different bolt pattern on the wheels. I drove my 68 like that for a while. I used dog-dish hubcaps & you wouldn't even know they were different unless you popped a cap off.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
