66 chevy ii wagon

[ssleeper94]

I'm about to take the motor out of my T and put it into a 66 chevy ii wagon, I searched and came up it can be done, just want a little input onto what I'd have to do to make it fit?

I'd imagine you'd need to make sure the oil pan clears as well as exhaust. Next thing would be 200R4 crosmember and finally driveshaft lenght. Radiator and intercooler should not be a big issue. Just my thoughts... Nice choice BTW. What is the curb weight on that gem?

i have a t400 on it, i think around 2800

I would think that your biggest obsticles would be the downpipe to shocktower clearance and the oil pan to steering linkage clearance. If you have it in your budget for one of the aftermarket bolt on front ends set ups that do away with the shocktowers and convert the car to R&P steering you would be way ahead of the game and it would be much easier but I am sure it can be done with the stock set up.

I have done this to the above 63 and also to a 68 Camaro, so if you have any specific questions let me know and I will try and answer them.
