hold on a second!  when did they start using the aluminum warner?  if
this car still has the iron warner the engine swap isn't so
impossible.  a 360 would have to be a '70-1 and it would be smart to
use a matching warner auto with the '61 torque tube adapter.

everything else about the swap is still a lot of work, and i don't
know if the rear axle is up to it - does the super have an amc15 or
amc20?
