Re: >Newb< 71 LWB NEED INFO

I'm going to try and answer a few of these questions that I have had experience with. Someone else will chime in i'm sure and help you out on the rest. The column shift should be useable with any trans as long as you purchase an adjustable linkage. You may not be able to shift into 1st but definately can adjust to drive adn use. For a trans crossmember if you have an automatic now just reuse that. Place the motor and trans olt up your crossmember to the trans and locate where the holes need to be for the crossmember on the frame. With the motor mounts I used the factory 6 cylinder stands in the 6 cylinder location. If you have a sbc you can reuse those factory stands as well. The you just need to purchase the adapter mounts from ebay or other parts source to use the factory style sbc motor mounts. Look in the swap section I used #2 of the plates and it worked out nicely. Hope this helped.
