Hello, I have a '73 Torino and I really want to put a 460 and a ZF5 in it. I'm more than aware that the ZF5 is not the easiest transmission to put in this vehicle, but I want to, I really want that low first and that .76 overdrive. Has anyone done this? I saw a thread from 14 years ago where someone said they were going to so I'm sure it's been done, I just want to know what it takes? Modified transmission tunnel? Custom cross member? Custom drive shaft? Custom shifter handle? I expect all of these things but I'd love to talk to someone who has actually done it. Thanks in advance.
