Welcome.  That looks nice.  Are you running two outside mirrors on the drivers side also?

Welcome. Nice ride. I always liked the way the meteor grills wrapped around the sides. Looks really straight and clean.
I really appreciate it when the new guys do a post so I know things connected ok. What part of the world are you from. I suspect somewhere north of the border.......we don't see too many Meteors here.

Hi. Ontario Canada. About 50 miles from Port Huron Michigan. Already started making the car mine. Going to convert 3 in the tree to Hurst 3 speed on the floor. Really had to think hard on that. The car is box stock original so tough decisions to make. I have a 466 big block and C6 ready for my other car and am toying with pulling 272 out. Something tells me to go FE to try and stay period correct. Hmmmmm

If I were to do an engine swap again, I would not consider the 460/C6.  I like the 460/C6 but the FE fits better and is a bolt in.  The 460/C6 doesn't fit well.

Thanks for the reply. We just ordered a rad from Crites that is suitable for FE or 460. Still thinking this one thru. Already have built a 466 and C6 so either sell or put in Custom 300. Not sure if I could recoup what I have invested in them.

460/C6 will fit...it will just fight you all the way.

    If I were going1 to do another swap I would seriously consider a Godzilla swap. These engines are really starting to catch on by the aftermarket.

  Did the Niagara come with Meteor hubcaps?

   Nice car btw.
