Need Info on slant 6 to V8 swap

Chrysler Richens... Don't hijack his thread. A 72 is a totally different animal... Start your own thread.

Having put several V-8s into early A-body's, I disagree with a lot of the initial information.
In a nutshell, no need to change the k-frame as you can get new or modify 273 mounts to work. Do Definately up-grade the brakes to 10 inches or disks if you wish to drive it on hwy 27 or in much of this Florida traffic. Also, 50 plus year old, weaker slant six bars shouldn't be trusted to drive the car with a V-8. There is a reason that Chrysler engineers used thicker bars in their cars when the cars had increased engine weight. Without a sway bar, definately up-grade the torsion bars if you want it to handle at all. The slant 6 66Dart should already have the V-8 drop center link and find yourself a 273 V-8 oil pan and pick-up tube for the 318 or 340. A 360 has a unique pan and the 273 pan won't work on it, but a mallet will help make it fit the early K frame on the right front.
