Standard was the "half 389" inline 4, which shared mounts with the optional 326. Made the 389/421 a bolt in, so the GTO could have easily happened a year earlier.

F-85/Cutlass/Jetfire and Special/Skylark front clips can be easily unbolted, and interchanged. If they are the same as Tempest/Lemans, it would make the conversion easier. Increased torque of the 330 might call for a sturdier drivetrain. Wimpy brakes would also need to be addressed.
