As a simple swap, this will not work. The 65 is a swing axle and 
the 73 is IRS. You could do this if you were willing to swap the rear 
subframe and weld in the rear engine mount supports, AND put in a 
late engine with the rear mount crossbar.

You would also have to adapt the starter shaft/bushing. The 6V and 
12V shafts are different diameters.
