I have to agree that people installed whatever was available to them when they had a issue with the factory engine or the gas crisis and long drives each day forced them to swap in a smaller engine to get to work and back. Common sense says you do some of that stuff IF NECESSARY.

The post says late 64 GTOs with 326 engines. That implies PRODUCTION ENGINES off the LINE. NEVER HAPPENED.
Premium Gas in 1964-65 was 26 cents a gallon.
No reason to put in a smaller engine AND the factory, as posted, had lots of 64 GTO Engines. So anything in the way
of an engine swap MIGHT BE TRUE at some point in the cars history but NEVER off the line in 1964.

THAT is a FACT.
