Convert a Dynaco ST-70 into a guitar amp?

I've got one lying around that I haven't used in a few years and was toying with the idea. I was going to use a couple of KEF 8"(?) drivers I gutted from a pair of speakers and mount them open baffle style. I think they're B200/SP1063 drivers. I don't really know what to even expect and I don't really think I need to modify anything but I'd like input from anyone who may know what I'm in for. I'm WANTING it to sound like the Tom Verlaine album Warm & Cool if anyone knows that one. I was going to use a pedal as a preamp/volume control.

I should point out that I have MANY other guitar amps including a Mesa/Boogie Mark IV, an Egnater Rebel 20 stack(variable between 1 & 20 watts w/ 6V6 and EL84s) & a Vox so I'm kinda set for dirty sounds :-)

Secondly, I believe Verlaine(guitarist/singer from Television) uses some sort of tube hi-fi/pa amp as his guitar amp on this album and it sounds great. The tone is not distorted but more akin to Santo & Johnny-Sleepwalking or Peter Green's-Albatross.
