got 63 valiant convertible. Needs complete running gear and I have piles of 76.78.79 volares here. Will complete drive train go into 63 [engine , auto, rear end. How about brakes from old to disc.
thanks guys

"piles of volares".... in Minn., no less? Don't they rot out there worse than they did here in Chicago? We might have to do some parts trading here

yes, they do rust to oblivion, all the yards are gone here too.

I'd PM slantsixdan, he owns a 62 I beleive. I know the engine bay is smaller in the early 60's than the late 70's, and I think it does matter if its a 170 six (in your 63) or a 225. If your making the whole swap (including trans and rear) I think you might be okay, I would measure the driveshaft too.

The shifter mechanism will be a problem, assuming you have a pushbutton/cable operated auto in your '63. You can adapt a newer transmission and pushbutton shifter to work together - search "Imperial" on this board.
