:I heard somewhere (probably on this board) that it's easier just to swap control arms from a later Mav just because parts for the 69.5 are so rare. That's probably why you had later suspension parts.
I don't know if this car qualifies as a 69.5. It had
: dash mounted ignition, but later suspension parts. Anyway,
: holes for V-8 mounting were all there but one. The motor mount
: holes are easy to spot, if you're holding a v-8 bracket in your
: hand. Holes and threaded inserts were in place for front cross-
: member. Did have to drill hole for one side of trans crossmember,
: and I think I had to modify that crossmember slightly,cutting away
: material to make it fit where it should.Donor car was a '71.
