Have done it. The hardest part is changing the wiring loom and fuel lines, otherwise it is just like changing any other motor. Cheers Pete

I've done it, the job can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be. Start with a frontcut, rip it to bits and put it all back together into the new body. If you do a build thread I and others I'm sure will be happy to walk you through anything you get stuck on.

If you get the approach right the job can be relatively straight forward. Loom is easy, I've had mine in and out a couple of times. It's only hard if you're integrating it to any existing looms / wiring. Fuel lines arent too bad either, just get hold of a full intact 60s one and make two more in 5/16 bundy tubing the same shape.

Done my fair share of them ... there are no secrets to it just take your time and make sure you plug everything in, dont take short cuts ... real nice motor , replace as many sensors as you can and espesially the lines to the MAP sensor .. 99% of cars that didn run properly were MAP related ... While your at it ... a set of extractors and shave the head to get the compression up a touch .. and walla great cruising car Beanie
