I'm wanting to put the 63 body on the 66 amt chassis. Would I need to shorten or lengthen the chassis any?

If you look up "1963 Nova wheelbase" you'll see it was 110 inches on all the variants. The '66 Nova also was on a 110" wheelbase.

 

 

In case you don't know (and MANY people use these terms wrong) wheelbase is the dimension from the centerline of the front tire to the centerline of the rear tire. Track is the dimension from the centerline of the tire tread on one tire to the centerline of the tire tread on the opposite tire on the same end of the vehicle, front track or rear track.
