nice pics guys...i was wondering...i know i would have to run the wiring harness and whatnot, but if i was to drop a terminator motor into my 67 coupe what would i have to modify for the motor and t56 to fit? i know i have to notch out the shock towers but idk what else i would have to do...and how much to notch them out...

I'd say that's something you'll have to decide on your own by mocking everything up and seeing how everything fits.

If shock towers are in your way and you have an extra $2000 to blow, you could buy a Heidts IFS and completely remove the shock towers.

How about a 5.4 SC 32 valve. I have almost 1800 miles on her. If you decide on this install, there is a lot of fab work and a M II front would make things easier. I will have to say the work is well worth it when you get to drive it. They are a blast to drive.
