I'm sure no one knows what I'm talking about because everyone thinks that GM made all their frames the same, not in 66 B body they didn't. They, (GM) didn't standardize the B body frame until 1971. Olds is the same way, the frame is nothing like a chevy frame is.

^ ^ ^ ^. THIS is why I suggested a front frame swap. Yes, with enough work, you can put just about any motor in any car but why make it difficult? Have the place that’s tubbing the back swap the front at the same time and square it all up. Otherwise, unless you talk to someone who has actually done it, it’ll for sure be more hassle that you think. Just my 2 cents.
