    another AOD ?

    its worth that for parts... the entire geartrain will swap into an aod, giving you a wide ratio, heavy duty 'set with extra friction discs, and a good direct clutch. as mentioned before, the o.d. servo is also the best one for performance use.

    What is involved in putting a 351W in a 65 coupe

    ill say it again... with the PROPER headers, and a bit of wiggling of the motor mount as you tighten them down, you can drop a 351 into a 65 with no shock tower issues. the intake, however is another problem.

    Quarter panel bodywork question..
