on one  hand it's easy; hornet/gremlin v8 crossmembers fit and if you
can't find an  american amc20 axle there are others that fit well.
on the other hand, amc  added quite a bit of reinforcement to the
subframes and floorpans on the  '68-9 americans that the '65 doesn't
have - almost 200lb worth, if i guess  right.  rumors are amc had
enough chassis flex with the '67 343 to  crack windshields.


Andrew has a point there,I forgot to mention earlier than you may want to  
weld some subframe connectors' underneath to strengthen the integrity of the  
chassis if you plan on dropping in a 343.
