327 into an American

I am wanting to find out if anyone on here has swapped a 327 into an American? I know Bill Kraft did it in the early 60's, and I have been told "it can fit, it should fit, try it and see, etc..." but I really can't afford speculation, or guesses, I was really hoping someone has done it.

You will spend more dough modifying than it would cost to use a 4.0 or a Gen 2 V8.

Yeah, I'm headed in that direction, real hard. Now I just gotta' find a decent shell 63-66 big body car with a clean title, and those are nearly impossible to locate. Every one I find, the person tells me it has no rust, and when looking it over, the first thing you find is large bubbles under paint, crunchy vinyl tops, paint peeling where it goes under chrome trim, etc...so they have no idea what rust does. I guess if they can't see it directly, or at an angle, they just say it does not have any. I once looked at a car with a vinyl top, owner said no rust. When I pushed on a soft spot on the roof, my thumb went through, and large flakes of rust fell inside - I did not know the headliner was out - but obviously he did, and decided not to tell me. He then proceeded to get mad at me, telling me I ruined his rust free car, and I then have to buy it. I told him to call the cops, and I walked away. He never spoke to me again, and he lived 2 blocks over! The car rotted to the ground, and the junk yard hauled it off 6 years later. I also had one person tell me their car was in very good shape, so I asked if it had any quarter rust, or underside issues. They said "well, it has "some" rust, and a couple holes, but nothing too bad", and the frame looks pretty good. Havent figured out what they think "some" rust is, or how a frame can be "pretty" good!
