Sorry for the not so great pics. This was a 56 Buick, not the same but similar. We used a Heidts Pro-g clip on this one along with a TCI torque arme in the rear. The x frame accepts the torque arm quite well and the front end went in just like any other "subframe" swap. It's a bunch of work but it allows your to put ride height exactly where you want it. You will spend 8 to 12k in parts going this way, maybe more, so that new chassis isn't terribly expensive when you factor in your time.
