I put one out of a '58 in my '60 with no trouble... i think i had to change out the tailstock... the '58 had no provision for a crossmember mount , if i recall... it was in 1988...been a couple days! It worked great! Miss that car, '60 2dr post with 389/215 2bbl...i got 16.30's/85mph out of it by opening the crossover dump, short 205 tires on rear(2.69 gear), chrome Holley fuel pump and poli-locs.... Dad had a couple sets 5/16'' poli-locks from when he ran '60 Pontiacs in Stock Elim in the '60s ... my '60 ran like a dream... it was White all over with that tan and brown interior...all factory with 33,000 miles on it...

I broke the original trans when i shifted into high gear in the burnout box(with a slightly hotter engine that went 14's) ... young and dumb...hehe
