Check with Mark in Texas, 512-303-0833, he has a rough but complete 67 GS convert with buckets, console, floor shift automatic and tilt steering column. Henry
'66 442's used a 10 bolt differential so apparently someone has swapped it out. A 98 rear end assembly is much larger and heavier than one for "A" body cars so there won't be any parts interchange there. Henry

Get some '64-'67 283/327 Chevelle motor mount frame brackets bolted to cross member, same years Chevelle motor mounts to use, will need to change minor items like front exhaust pipes linkage etc. I had a '66 el Camino I installed a '67 Cutlass 330 engine/2spdautotrans into. Henry
You will have to build a driveshaft for that combo. The '72 98 has a long tail turbo 400 with a round flange on the driveshaft to connect to the rearend. Henry
I do not know about your car but I had a '65 Riviera and a set of 57 Cadillac Gold Sabre wheels and found the Caddy wheels were too small to go over the Buick finned drums so look carefully. Henry.
In Austin, Tx. in my daily driver '66 I've been stopped 2 times this year for no apparent seat belt use, when officer get to my door he then sees I'm only equipped with lap belts and sent on my way! Henry.
The '67 Chevrolet would be a "B" body and comparable with the '67 Olds 88 series. The 98's have a longer wheelbasse and are related to Buick Electra 225 and Cadillac Devilles. Henry
'67 and '68 standard bucket seats(less seat cover design) are the same, they both used the seat back locks with the side release button. One area of difference is the '67 uses metal seat backs and lower side skirts, while the '68's use plastic parts instead, but the pieces interchange between the 2 years. Henry.
A standard transmission 442 was available with power brakes, The W30 4spd cars may not had power brake option. Originally most '70 442's had a steel hood, the ram air hood is the exception to the rule. The pictures of restored 442's have often been upgraded to ram air hoods. There is not any way to ID the tranny as a M20 or M21 while installed in the car as the share the same case and casting #'s. Over the years many as used cars many 442's were "fixed" with whatever was available and Cutlass bumpers were more common to find. Henry
I purchased some 15" wheels on eBay, they were sent via USPS and cost about 21.00 per wheel. Southampton, Pa 18966 to Austin, Tx 78727. I'm cetain there are cheaper options but seller said post office was easiest for him. Henry
