engine swap
I have a coupla dodges, a 66 coronet and a 65 dart. The tranny in the coronet just went south and since I've been thinking about a big block swap I've decided to pull out the engine and tranny and put in a 383 or a 440 package. There's plenty of information out there and the swap should be pretty straightforward. However, since I have this extra 318 lying around I figured hey, what the hell why not put it in the dart. The problem is that it's a 318 poly and just about everything I've come across that deals with A body engine swaps is about the LA 318 or b/rb swaps. Does anyone have any information about how to swap a poly 318 into a 65 A body. What are the pitfalls and or hazards. The engine is strong and has a 4bbl and electronic ignition so I'd like to use it plus it's the original coronet engine so it would be nice to keep around. Any advice would be appreciated. Jason.
