I saw a truck 6.0 in a 59 caddy last sept at the car show here in town, the guy is out if enid oklahoma. That motor looked like it was meant for the caddy, he used truck accessories, and even the motor mounts and mounting plates from the frame. I heard him tell another guy that asked that the ol caddy weighed 9000lbs WOW I would have never guessed that one

Start with the 4L80E and never look back. You will be wasting your money with the other trans as your car is a tank.
There is a local guy with a Chrysler Coronet convertible and a 6BT Dodge cummins setup. Lots of fab work but it is very close to hitting the paint booth. Makes 600rwhp/1000rwtq+.

I think people would be suprised at how little this car tips the scales at.
With the stock 46 year old motor, she still would knock down 15mpgs on the highway last year. And has NO issues pulling out in traffic... when they rated the stock motor at 485ftlbs of TQ, I have to admit... they might not have been 100% correct. But it wasn't a turd I will tell you that.
Weather is finally starting to be nice here, and I think this weekend will be a good progress weekend.

I've always wanted a 63/64 coupe. I was hoping to get a 63 with the 390, that way I could swap in a 3.9" stroked LS1.
Someday... Until then, I'll be watching this. A lot.
