500 Caddy/G Body Swap
Well last week I picked up a parts truck for the 84 El Camino project (far cheaper/quicker to replace the door and tailgate than find and wait on a body shop). The parts truck is really not in all that bad of shape so......well you see where this is going don't you.....
Anyway I have a 500 out of an El Dorado, and TH400 from a 69 Pontiac and probably a 9" that is close to the right width. I've found the engine mount swap kits on line so this kind of sounds like something I might want to put all together at some point.
Anybody gone thru one of these swaps and have any insights?I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
