Not sure what transmission you have behind that 455, but going to the later sub frame would also make using any late style transmission pretty easy.

IMO it's easier to just take all the older technology stuff off and swap it to later model, than trying to find ancient 58 parts and still end up with older technology, but I appreciate cars that handle well, and can corner well........

If you decide to do the G body front clip as outlined above the frame rails are closer together than the F body, making the Pontiac engine a tighter fit.

In the end it's your car, and your choice of which way you decide to go, good luck with whatever you decide.....

I have turbo 400, I just had a crazy thought what about welding in a tubular f body member from the 90’s this could just be crazy talk [emoji2957]
