Hi There, '64 through 67' 442 was an option package on the f85,Cutlass line. With the exception of the front fenders, on the 442 had a rocket looking chrome piece half way up the fender '66 hade a different grille, trunk strip, tailights. The body itself between the the different models was exactly the same except the four door which would be different from the front fenders back. Personally if I were looking for an easy job I may lean towards the 330 which you can still find. As for the three speed, to convert you 2 speed to a three speed, shifter wise contact shiftworks they make a nice conversion kit so you don't have to bastardize anything. Myself however I have a '66 Cutlass and I am dropping in 425 because I have a soft spot for those engines. As for the dual exhaust there will be no cut-aways in your rear bumper for that, one bumper only 442,f85,Cutlass. Also I believe the 442 became it's own model in 1968 until 1971, '72 went back to being an option on the Cutlass. Thanks for listening...
