Exactly. I'm putting one in a 69 barracuda. Factory 318 car, isnt worth big bucks.
Are you upgrading to 73 up disc brakes in the front? Look for a 2002 lincoln town car donut spare. It's an aluminum rim, is 25" diameter and about 4.5" thick. Fits nice and flat in the spare tire well. A Spicer 457C universal joint will fit the ford yoke, and mopar driveshaft.
