Modern Drivetrain Swap into '65 Valiant

There’s a jeep around the corner from my house. I guess I’ll just have to go measure to see if the motor will fit. One of the big things turning me off from a new swap is the wiring. I imagine new engines are more difficult than old ones, but I suppose if you cut and pasted the entire harness it might actually be easier than dealing with the rather haphazard mopar system.

Youre right the trans is the priority. But simply having a lockup converter won’t be enough of an upgrade to satisfy me. It would also be preferable to have a package that works with minimal tinkering, so if i did go with a 999 I’d probably just try to use the engine it came behind.
