I'd say why not go with it. Back in 75 a buccy and I put a 390 FE Ford in a 72 impala Ken picked up real cheap cause the motor and trans were wasted. Toook a little work and an early FE 4x4 oil pan. Used pull into full service stations and ask the guy to check the oil.

You should have seen him. Hood read Impala and valve covers read Thunderbird. Drove gas stations crazy.

Ken used it to pull his camper.
