shame it has to go after all the work you've done. you mentioned bulkhead mod's to upgrade the engine and steering/brakes. what were you thinking of swapping to as most 'normal upgrades won't need any bulkhead changes at all, maybe the lip flattening where the tunnel meets the bulkhead for a 727/ big block swap. but i assume you weren't thinking of a daily driver big block car, lol.
anyway good luck with the sale, someone's about to benefit from all your good work.

All the research I did shows the 273 (I actually already had a core to build) will not fit in a 63 as the wiper motor mount point on the firewall interferes with the distributor. I read somewhere where a guy did a full custom distributor but it was a pretty complex milling operation I don't have the tools to get into. I already sourced all the original brackets and engine mounts and exhaust manifolds for the swap when I found this out. Also have the correct drag link as well for a V8 swap. Just decided I didn't want to cut into such a clean body.
