1964 vista cruiser questions

Hello. My name is Josh. My wife acquired a 64 Vista cruiser wagon recently. I'm in the process of converting to disc brakes and got that pretty much completed. I'm taking the jetfire motor out and installing a 455 into it. The few questions are:

Am I going to have to upgrade the front suspension? If so is it going to have to be custom or is there an aftermarket one available?

Can I use the stock motor mounts on the 455 or will I have to customize those into the frames?

I had a 200R4 rebuilt for the car and understand I'm going to need custom driveline into it. According to my measurements the 455 will fit, but I may have to shoehorn the thing in there!! Any help on this would be appreciated. Thank you and have a great day!!

A rare and cool car. Maybe you should think twice before you modify it too much.

That post is from February. The OP joined in Feb, posted twice, and hasn't posted on this site since then, so he may not even be participating. Try an email or PM.
