jerrysoldtrucks1 Welcome to and the Bumpside Forum.

Yes you can, but unless you are well versed I only recommend that you buy a donor 73-75 for the FE engine or 73-79 for I-6 or 302 engines and swap all the parts in, bolt hole exchange. I pulled my 76 donor along side my 66 dropped both I-Beam sets, slid the donor over and bolted it up on the 66. All parts needed are included. You will need to renew some parts and rubber items but everything will be there for you.

Play the game right and you can complete the swap in a couple weeks and have the donor removed in a 30 day cycle.
