    Build 1963 International Scout 80

    Pete, I went with the cheap universal motor mounts from AA. They are not the greatest things in the world and will take some added supports to make me happy. But they were inexpensive and easy. These. https://www.advanceadapters.com/products/713007--chevy-v8--43l-v6-engine-mount-kit/

    Heck yes I do. T bird thing got me thinking and perusing the interwebs. Found a interesting heater/ac unit. Mounts wherever I want (like under a seat) and I can run the heat/ac controls in the center console. If I have The vents blow from the center console and down by the Drivers and...
