I might have posted this question in the wrong place yesterday.
Will a 455 Olds and T400 fit in the 33 frame?
I've got both and am looking for a new home for them.
If the big Ford would go might I get lucky?
Thanks, Denny

Seeing some of these motors these guys put in, I think you can make just about anything fit, just depends on your fabbing skills. The 400 might be a stretch though as space in the car is already limited and if I recall correctly, it is about an inch wider than the 700R or 350. But again, back to your skills. Personally, I like the Olds idea...they were popular hot rod motors for a time, my Dad had one in a '55 Chevy.

Just found this diagram on the trannys...might be doable after all. Does not look much bigger than my 700R.17319
