Right. Nothing to it.

Well, except for different width, different suspension design (struts vs. control arms), different structural attach points,...

Just a few brackets...

anyone know overall width of the 66 toro and the newer Aurora's. My plan would be to swap the subframe and dash, wiring, front seats and console from an Aurora, that way it would still have olds logos on everything. (are you reading this Jay, hint hint) i love the 66 toro body but the dash and seats seem to be from a delta 88. Gary
Sorry, but you're still replacing a 400 HP motor with a 250 HP motor. By the way, the seats ARE the same frames as used in the other car lines.
