Doc, the brackets, pulleys & water pump can be used from the '64 'Cat. On the '64 engine an oil pick-up is available for the rear sump pan. The plates bolted to the engine can be made from a plate of aluminum or steel. the motor mounts can be SBC. Other rear sump pans besides 401/425 will fit. Depends on the year. For manifolds, headers or shorty's can be used. Since it's a '64 it will already have the correct starter. The yoke from the '64 can be used on his driveshaft. There's nothing wrong by using the '64 TH400 that comes with the '64 engine. What will be needed is the rear control arm braces for the support of the rear part of the frame. This is even MORE important since he doesn't have the boxed convertible frame.
