Y'all are giving me options and to some of you those options might be quite reasonable. Unfortunately as stated in previous posts here the financial situation is not going to allow for the those options. The car you mention is deep in the land of fruits,nuts and liberals. The cost to retrieve the vehicle would pretty well kill me. Not to mention the cost of the vehicle. I already have a good running small block Chevy v8 that is basically costing me nothing through some trading. Aside from that I have already picked up a 53 parts car, no engine, transmission or drive line.

I appreciate all of the suggestions I am getting. Unfortunately some of you are not paying attention to what I'm saying about finances. As I see it I have three real options here.

1... Go ahead with my plans to swap in a small block
Chevy and modern auto trans. Like a T400 or 700R4.

2.. Someone out there can donate a running 327 straight 8 and auto trans that bolts right in and is original.

3.. anyone wants to they can rescue the cars from the idiot who owns them (that would be me). Either by buying them or trading me a comparable year and condition Chevy,Pontiac,Olds or Buick car. Don't do Fords for the most part. Dodge in those years weren't too bad.

So that's the way i see it right now.
