GENERAL INFORMATION
Engine and transmission mounting is simple with this kit, but some effort is required to remove the center section from
the Cross-member. Access and tough rivets are the problem here. The center kit is a key to this swap and we recommend
installing it first. The front wishbone must be split or removed (when using I.F.S.). No firewall modification (unless using
other than points distributor). No cutting of the X-rails required, but inner lip will need to be bent down slightly for clearance
around automatics. GM steering is just right for this application. We do not recommend Vega steering boxes for 1935 & later
cars. Wishbone must be split to clear automatics. Kits can be installed with body on. Due to extensive modification to install
a 700R4, experience is recommended.
