That Father/Son project is in Canada. Yes, their project was basically a rebuild of the existing frame/suspension. Think they used a Crown Vic front suspension & brakes, 80's Corvette differential and rear suspension, forget what transmission. Fanatiks Builds on youtube.
my love of little sports cars means not destroying the handling. I like the little go kart feel of them whipping around the turns. Even the old bias ply tires with basic suspensions are fun to drive. Adding that kind of power and weight just kills it. It's now a brick trying to navigate turns. NO THANKS. Might as well have a Mustang, Camaro, or the like.. if you are adding a 350 and frame of a crown vic. I really don't see the point, other than to ruin a car. Of course that's my opinion.. You don't have to share that but that's where I stand.. Or sit.Too many swaps end up like this one.

1975 triumph tr7 with chevy v8 swap - auto parts - by owner - vehicle automotive sale - craigslist
1975 triumph tr7 with a chevy 350 and turbo 350 transmission, rear end looks lil beefed up too. Should be fast as lighting considering its tiny with a small block. Engine is pretty much junk,...humboldt.craigslist.org
I know nobody on this list would make the mistakes this guy made but unless it's well thought out and executed engine swaps far to often become parts cars or worse.
JMHO,

Upside down? How do you rest the piece to set it for striking?
I need details!
Are you sure it looks like the bottom moves and the top is fixed.
