If I buy this 66 pont Parisienne Custom Sport with a 327 in it, Can I just swap out the tranny and engine for a turbo 400 and 396? Will all the mounts line up? Would I have to take the Driveshaft and rear end and swap the whole line? Sorry - Iam an electronics guy. found a reasonable 327 SC and at the same time a 3...

Hi ....what is the best replacement piston ring set for a 1966 389 out of a Benneville? The motor only has 78k miles on it but hasn't been run in years ....it smokes out of the rocker cover vent a bit so i'm guessing the rings are stuck in one of the pots. I'm going to pull the motor apart and completely clean...
