Thanks for the tips on the frame stifferers .
Being a former drag car, my frame already had the stiffeners installed.
I will have to check on the torque boxes to be sure they are upgraded as this is the only E body I have worked on underneath.
Lots of great knowledge offered by all and I know...
Ha! Good to know the 26" will fit as I will have to have a new radiator anyway, hate to cross the hoses.
Good info on the transmission pan too.
Informantion like this saves a lot of trial and error, for me anyways.
Thank for the replies. Would have been near impossible to get to the point I am at without help from folks on this site.
It's a relief knowing the linkage will switch over.
Definitely know I will have to have a BB transmission.
My car isn't set up for the 26" radiator and looks like a fair job...
A question for those more knowledgable than me.
My 74 Challenger has a 360/727 engine/transmission with factory console floor shifter.
I plan to switch to a 440/727 combo.
Will my existing shifter linkage connect back up without modifications?
Any other changes I need to consider?
I do have...
Finally up and running.
And no, it's not a T/A. Painted like this when purchased. A repaint is planned later on.
Received a lot of help from this site, thanks everyone.

Floyd,
New to the site. I started a conversation on Tuesday about the door pull bracket. I don't know if you received it. Anyways, the offer of the bracket is much appreciated. Just let me know how I can cover any cost and I will send my mailing info.
Thanks again,
Randall
