It is non Stock, but you can solve a lot of other problems by using a later "K" frame so weight distribution is better and exhausts fit easier and are more available...this moves the engine back but means that more fabrication is needed on the Trans Cross member.....

I have another k member in stock LOL if I go that route but I believe this is and easy fix with the right transmission mount Pete ...the difference between the two I believe is the later mount has one bolt as opposed to two in the 64 mount which you can see in the photos ...

Personally I'd use the later style spool mount and mod the crossmember to suit.

Blue do you think that would be an easy mod?

That is exactly what we are going to do in the '64 Polara, which has the same original set up as your car.

The "K" frame will be swapped out and a Trans cross member fabricated and use the Spool mount made of Urathane.

Yes, should just be a case of chopping the old mount off and welding a couple of "ears" to the crossmember to accept the spool mount. Something like this...

Ahhh a picture paints a thousand words ,,,looks fairly easy

rebuild steering column ,and paint to match seats ....Halfords to the rescue ..waiting on a few parts and it can go back in

Not a bad match to the new steering wheel ,,,quietly pleased with the result and saved a few quid in the process ..Waiting for some bits from classic industries to reassemble the column ie turn signals electrics and bulkhead gaskets .

few more steps

Waiting on parts to replace the steering column ,turning attention to engine next stay tuned for more boring photos ...

Hoping it will look something like this when finished ,although this has the push button shifter

Nothing "boring " on this thread !!!!
Nice to see a pic that inspired your interior build.
Keep them coming

Its all very red! Good to see progress Pete.

Coming together nicely Please say you're sticking with the Gold centred five spokes
