It might be easier to box the front frame rails and use a mustang, pacer, xj6, dakota IFS under it I just helped a buddy put a mustang clip under his 55 and it took a weekend. I don't know but that seems easier then swapping a frame.

You have to chop it!!!!!!! A 2" chop would fit it very well. I have noticed that if you go with a 4" chop it looks better when you cut about 4 to 5 inches out of the front of the box and section the frame to match. I like to keep mine period correct I put a 3" dropped and streched axle in mine with 3" drop springs in the front and 3" drop springs with flipped shakles in the rear.

dont chop it man!!! looks better unchopped!! just restore the body/panelwork as it is and stick some nice big shiny chrome wheels under it. use the newer chassis and engine and that for sure, just dont chop it.
