My '68 with an '81 engine/tranny swap
Just thought I would post how my swap is coming along and maybe help others or possibly someone can point out something I may have overlooked. I got a deal on a good running 305/700r4 combo which I am currently installing. I used the thread by roj2323 for installing the '81 motor towers with clamshell mounts and it went well, only I had to drill a hole for the rear top bolt on the frame. The distributor sits a few inches from the firewall, the 700r4 sits good. I bought an aftermarket tranny crossmember that fit in the stock mounting holes in the frame. The driveshaft was shortened about an inch and a half. So far that's as far as I have gotten. I have a lokar shift linkage on order and a new column indicator. I am currently wiring up the engine. Once those are done/installed I can install rad and shroud to see how the fan fits. I'll try to keep updating if I can remember to do so.
