motor mounts and crossmember and possible driveline issues though mine worked okay. Starter is on other side so wires are different. serious performance issues. I had a 67 with a chev 305. After the 400 went in I was much Happier and now that the 455 is in with nos I am smiling http://forums.performanceyears.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://forums.performanceyears.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
