       Over the decades I quite often have been asked in engine swap intentions whether such & such engine would 'fit' in a certain chassis; and my frequent response has been:  "If you drop it from high enough, it'll fit right in there"!   

       Well, in this instance presented, this may prove to be bad advice!

I personally think the car looks stunning with the engine swap....

This advice may have been spot on, the aim was off...

Looks like normal 289 emblem on fender not one with the HiPo add on.

Reminds me of the first attempts of a Godzilla swap.

This was an interesting one for sure. The aircraft was a Carvair - They were converted Douglas DC-4 aircraft used to ferry cars from Ireland or England across the pond either from Ireland to England or to France / Europe. Very unusual aircraft, probably on its last legs in 1969. This link mistakenly identifies it as a Convair.
