Sure - if you want a tin box on wheels that won't go around corners worth a d@mn.............

But they aren't as cool as my 66 Impala Caprice, factory 396 four speed running a 435 tri-power intake. . Back in the days when we paid $150 for a complete working setup.

it works but the mismatch will lose approximately 25 to 40 HP depending on the engine.
