Still trying to get an old 1961 road worthy.

I have what I thought was a 200 straight six out of a 1964 Falcon, but it's actually a big bell Ford 200 out of a 1980 or 1981 Ford Fairmont. So using my old 2 speed Fordomatic tranny isn't going to work.

I guess going the C4 route is the only option. Especially since the old original 170 engine is blown to heck and not rebuild-able.

So what kind of stuff do I need to be thinking about when do this new conversion to the big bell 200/C4 combo? I need any and all info so I don't overlook something. I really need to get this thing back on the road. And I still need to find a donor C4 to work with the 200 engine I have.

Off the top of my head these issues come to mind:

-I'm going to have to cut the driveshaft

-I'll need some kind of rear crossmember support for the C4 (I think there's places that makes these, so I can buy online)

-I'm probably going to need a different pedal/throttle linkage assembly

-I'll maybe need some kind of different approach to the shift linkage (I wanna keep this car a column shifter)

That's what comes to mind currently. Let me know if I should be thinking about any other issues! Any and all info is greatly appreciated!
