518 into a Swinger

[Brian Hood]

Hey,
Has anyone ever tried to stick a 518 into an A body? I have a 73 Swinger and a good 518. I am concerned about having to do a lot of cutting mods. Any input?

Good luck! I would love to see it done. I believe you will have a fair amount of modification required, but WOW, what a sight that would be!
