    Hello from the beautiful south. I am new to the world of wagons and will be asking a lot of questions. I am getting ready to start a project that is a bit of a frankenwagon. I have a 1988 country squire that I will be attempting to load a 1970 455 rocket with a turbo 350 into. I am not usually one to cross over with the mixing of drive trains and such, but the components of this build were a great buy and it should make a fun street strip project. Does anyone know what it will take to get the right motor mounts, tranny mount, and driveshaft? Also, will I need to redo the wiring or can I use the harness that is there? I am going w/4bl with HEI. Thanks

    I would think you would have to fabricate your own mounts and wiring. If it were mine I would look into a more conventional swap.

    Welcome aboard 88squire. Sounds like quite an interesting project you have on your hands.
