    it can be done, i used the frame pads out of '74-'76 electra
    headers will go in fairly easy(may need to grind frame area slightly)
    to run duals i modified a dual cutout crossmember from a '71-74 full size buick,olds,pontiac. wiring for HEI will need extended,and starter harness moved to passenger side. i did this swap on an '85,and an 84 le sabre, and an 81 electra
    i scrapped my 84 le sabre, in favor of my 2900 lb 82 regal.
