your putting alot more power on a car that was designed for a straight 6, the suspension needs to be beefed up, a C-4 wouldn't last long at all, a C-6 or a more modern one would be better, the rear end will need to be replaced. and change atleast the front breaks to disk, and the sigle cylender master cylinder should be upgreaded to a duel.
I was going to change my 200 out with a v-8 but decied against it.
i got a 65 coupe thats been in my family since it was new.
good luck on this swap.
