some say it blastphemous to swap engines and trannies?
yet we are all hot rodders here so that's practically our grail to swap and swip and make do with new and old...

anyway - i have a sweet looking [looking being the key word here] 63 rambler classic - 2door, v8 [287] - shaved [door handles, gas cap, and mirrors] nice little car but the motor is going and i dont feel like even attempting finding parts for such an mill..

now awhile back a guy emailed me with a particular converter or bellhousing to mate a sbc to [and here is where things get fuzzy] the stock rambler tranny [the auto is a b/w m-8 and the manual is a t-86 non sync] - anyway bascially this converter would mean all i'd have to fab was motor mounts and a spiffy new radiator and i'd be good to go...

so i'm trying to keep to the stock driveline [from the tranny back] and replace the mill with something easier to get parts for and repair [sbc, ford, chry...]

thanks in advance
