Hey Ed,
Where you at with this project?? There are a few of us on the board that would be interested in this project. I have a two 53 coupes. One,with a chevy 355 roller engine with a ZF 6 speed. The other has a 351-W Ford, AOD trans. If I could find a complete 392 hemi with trans I would jerk the ford engine in a heartbeat.
Read my earlier post, of what I remember of a guy in high school who did this samething.
Anyway, keep us posted.

P.S: Pat,did you get my pictures??
