I know one Chrysler 300 lover who did just the opposite, just to aggravate
the mouse motor folks. He took a 57 Ch**Y Belair and dropped in a drive line
from a 62 Chrysler 300. Cross ram 413, TorqueFlight, 8 � axle. The interior
was also 62 300: door panels, seats, and console. Just to make it more
obvious, the whole fiberglass front end tilts forward to expose the entire
engine.

Okay, it's a good point about bad-mouthing, that's just plain mean and
spiteful.
On the other hand, I think the guys [and gals] who wrote are showing their
pride. '50's Chryslers were noted for their engineering, TorsionAire ride
being a great invention, hemi and poly engines and TorqueFlite another.
Styling was great, the only drawback being rust problems.
So now, 42 years later, the unwashed masses still drool over a '57 Ch---, a
third facelift car that was really behind the times in engineering. I mean,
can you see $30K plus for a $3K BelAir convertible with a 265 and
Powerglide?
So this guy that takes the best parts out of a '57 Dodge and puts in Ch---
running gear should expect some derision.
