All,
I've got to disagree. With a torch, anything can be made to fit. I know
where there is a clean looking 65 320 truck that has an L20B in it.
Externally, you could not tell. Even the interior looks stock. It is
unfortunate that the poor little truck lost a lot of it's firewall to the
torch for this. Even the owner regrets it now.
FWIW
