first early a body project

I would go with the 383 or 400 block configuration. Schmacher mounts will fit your car. May want to get a set of hi po exhaust manifolds to see if they will work.

There is a 383 62 Lancer on You Tube. Do a search. He does have a straight axle but check it out anywhay. It may give you some motivation.

You have an extremely cool car!!
