74 to 65 Drivetrain Swap!

Looks like you did a great job fitting it in there!


Tell us about the exhaust manifolds, please.:blob:

That will be another thread. When it I get it all sorted out I plan to do a "how to" to dicuss the ins and outs because there seems to be so much scattered information about this topic on the forum.


One other thing I thought I should point out. My car originally had a floor shifter and the 65's still used the cable shifters (with 2 cables) that I don’t think will work with the newer tranny. In order to convert to a newer factory linkage shifter you would have to route the linkage on top of the hump cut a big hole in the floor and then you'll need to cover it with a full console (like Chrysler did from 66-on cars) to cover it up. I went with an aftermarket Hurst Racket floor shifter that works with the later linkage transmission with single cable so it only requires a single small hole. I think it looks closer to the original shifter anyway, beside I can "slam gears" with the Hurts!
