1) I would sell the early and pick up a 66 or later model if you have to put
the engine in the back seat kinda like the Crown Conversions.

2) If you just have to have a square little stealth car (g)   how about
sticking the SMC in the front end, and use a drive train from a Camaro etc;
with all kinds of experience available from suspension guys this could be a
very serious ride.  With beefy JY parts actually available !!!  Think 80%
tube frame, and lots of locator trick pieces for the axle.  Oh yeah, put in
a roll cage for those special moments.

Sounds like fun !!
