yup, takes special mounts.... You'll also have to do some frame work on that old A to get it to hold the power of a modern engine. Then with the added power, you're going to need to update the suspension, brakes, fuel, and electrical systems..... Lots more to it then just dropping in a big V-8....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Your very best investment at this point will be to spend 14 bucks for this book....

Changed the shocks yesterday to OEM spec Monroe, they are still gas shocks. Disappointed that the ride is still very firm, it is not as bad but I was hoping for better. Might have something to do...
