I have one of each, meaning a 61 conversion with the 64 engine and trans

stuff, except control arms, where I just have a greased aluminum spacer
with a hole in it between the bottom of the diff and the spring -- works
fine, and the spring ends hold it right where it is supposed to be --

not for serious racing.
Since you are starting with a 64, most of this stuff is already there,
just the mount to the differential, which is not absolutely required, mo.
