Their parts are not expensive, and they have been around for a long time. http://www.chassisengineeringinc.com/ | | |

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

I know you're going the opposite way, but should be just the reverse of what I did. I swapped out motor mount towers and that was it. I had to move the towers up one bolt hole(I think). A small block should fit with no problem. I don't know if I really had to swap out the towers, but the previous owner welded one of them to the motor mount, so I did anyway. I don't know about the tranny. Sorry. Hope this helps. John.
