    I bought a brand new SC in '91....Pretty cool car...At that time i thought it had the best seats you could find in any car....Didn't know you could get a 5 spd...I remember a company {Kenny Brown?} shortening a few of them by cutting them behind the doors and welding them back together

    I remember reading an article on the Kenny Brown short wheelbase T-Birds in Car & Driver or something.

    OIL PAN will be the biggest issue to get around, rear sump can not be converted into front sump. Steering is in the way.

    I actually remember finding some stuff on the web about a guy that put one in a 64/65 Falcon. He actually welded an alluminum tube through the oil pan for the steering linkage to run through. It was an interesting read on his build. - Matt
