Luckily for him he only spent one night in the hospital and no one else was in the car at the time.

Pictured below, the car before the swap, the crate engine, after the transplant, and then what it looked like after he drove it for a short period of time.
I'd be interested in buying that 69. Then I would buy an AMD 69 body shell and start moving parts from the old to the new.
