As for the other Rob, going to the A500/518 in the J-body Imperial would be
easier since the trans crossmember is only for the transmission, not a
torsion bar anchoring point. From what I have heard, the 500/518 clears the
M-body transmission tunnel, so it should be fine in your Imp.  I believe
there is a guy on Moparts.com that did the conversion in his 5th Ave.


Yep, there are two guys on Moparts (Patrick and somebody that did it first) that have installed A500 in M-body 5th Aves. IIRC, they both cut and modded the tunnel, but both "thought" they didn't really have to. It's certainly way easier than on an A/B/E body car. I have two Imperials so I plan to give the junkyard a try for the efi/mpg car. It was going to be a parts car, so not much to lose. Then if it works out I'll worry about the 360/727 car. Of course, being in overseas has put a damper on my wrenching.
