yup, takes special mounts.... You'll also have to do some frame work on that old A to get it to hold the power of a modern engine. Then with the added power, you're going to need to update the suspension, brakes, fuel, and electrical systems..... Lots more to it then just dropping in a big V-8....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Your very best investment at this point will be to spend 14 bucks for this book....
