    Just need to get the V8 motor mounts for that year. They mount in different holes that should already be in the frame. The trans crossmember should be fine. You may have to mount the radiator on the back side of the core support if it's not already there. Then just adjust the position of the fan with the appropriate spacer.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
