Shifty

If your donor motor is a 72, you'll need to use the oil pan and pickup and I believe the motor mounts from the 65 motor so the motor will sit and fit properly on the 65 K Fame. The 72 oil pan wants to occupy some of the same real estate as the K Frame.The 65 column won't work since it's a dual cable operated column. Neither the 67 nor 72 column will be suitable. You might be able to get one or the other to fit with some mods to the column but the shifter part in the engine bay will probably be problematic in working properly. The correct column to use is the 66 column shift column along with the linkage. Reason: Both the 65 and 66 are early A's and share the same K Frame, virtually the same firewall, and same mounting location to the dash and firewall. The 66 linkage will fit perfectly with the 72 904. Any questions, drop me a PM as I've run into all these issues at one time or another.
