Ergo, the '70 232 in the '63 Classic -- in 1988, with noone to ask, I had to rummage around to figure out I needed a V8 x-member. Stupid task. --------------------- Just as a point of interest (hopefully) a previous owner transplanted a 232 into my 64 Classic by using pieces of 2 x 4 channel iron to raise the motor mounts on the original 6 cylinder crossmember. The 196 must be taller than the 232 (makes sense with the longer stroke). It's a clean installation, but the homemade perches do indicate a transplant.
