Any body done one of these swaps? I'd love to do one cuz I love those engines and I love that old body style. I'd figure on doing some nonstandard mods to the grill and/or firewall to make it fit, and maybe modifying the drivetrain to handle all that power, definitely have to do something to the front suspension to take a 1200lb engine. I've seen it done once on youtube and once in real life, so I know it can be done, I'm just curious about any major demons to this swap. Ones that would require gobs and gobs of $$$$ to overcome, not just some hours with a plasma torch and welder for some chassis and sheetmetal modification.
Thanks in advance!
