Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project

[vin63]

Thanks! That bellhousing is worth its weight in gold. Yeah, I would opt for the Pontiac if still available...a little more of an aftermarket support for parts, etc. In your case, it might be easier to go with an engine mount setup (block and frame) similar to the ones available for the 64-72 Tempest, Lemans, GTO. You may have to modify the frame mount, but it should get you close without having to reinvent the wheel, so to speak.

The truck is a 3 speed on the column and so was the car so I have the bell housing and fork. Please respond here if you want or PM.. Thanks in advance..
