for a start you'll need the short water pump and pulley used on '65
american 232s and '65-'74 jeeps, and a small body [american,
hornet/gremlin/concord/spirit] crossmember and motor mounts.  you'll
need a tf output yoke and a custom driveshaft; early-mid '70s u-joints
are the same as non-big-nut americans ['65-6 232, '67-9], but not your
'big nut' style.  the 'big nut' pinion is also special, so you can't
just use a later driveshaft.  you'll have to flip the radiator
brackets to move it a few inches fwd as on the '65 232, but it isn't
as easy on the '64 as the upper rad support doesn't have the zig to
fit the upper rad tank.

i assume the tranny crossmember will also need work.  might be easier
to start with a later one and mod to fit the car.  i'd also want to
take a good look at the later column shift linkage.
