A Blast From the Past: First-Ever A-Body V8 Swap!
I think this is pretty funny: In its October, 1960 issue, Hot Rod Magazine swapped a 283 C.I. Chebby small-block V8 into a 1960 Valiant sedan. They left the 13-inch wheels and tires and the 7-1/4" live (edit: Oops, meant to say "open") differential in the car, and they report that it "smoked the rear wheels". Yeah, I'll bet!
