Bad gas for sure unless you used stabil. Probably going to need to flush the tank and rebuild the carb. Change oils,check brake lines fluid. There are lists out there for bringing vehicles out of long term storage. Lots of stuff degrades . It's hard on parts being stored wrong.

Good luck to you and God bless

Are these 14" or 15" ?

I'm also doing this swap and I thought I had it all ready to go until I read this thread. It got me searching as I heard all that was needed was a b&m flex plate 10239. From what I've read from others who have done the swap keeping the 318 converter is to use the b&m flexplate and use a pilot...

Does anyone know if this b&m flexplate 10239 works with a 1968 a 904? It only lists 1971-1992 so I'm concearned that there might be something different. Anyone know what that might be or has actually used the flexplate on a pre 71 transmission.

I'll read the bb forum and see what's all involved. My son wants to go check out the car tomorrow and we plan on pulling the 318 from the barracuda tomorow as well. I never considered the rear might be sure grip.i like the 8.8 swap especially for the price and availability but the guy I talked...

Thanks guys , I've always used later model engines at least 67 on for no other reason than that's what was available at the time. Those times are gone.now and I don't want to get something that will take one off parts or lots of special work to swap over .I've done a lot of b/rb engine b body...

Well I'm defiantly going to talk with the guy tomorrow then because I think I can get it quite a bit cheaper seeing as he will still have the body . Is the 66 a good year rear end? I know it's the first year 440 and has a forged crank but 516 heads .

There is a 1966 imperial at the metal scrap yard about a half mile from my house. I was thinking of making an offer on the drivetrain and building it gradually over the winter since it's got a 440/727/8 3/4 . It ran recently but not now and I'm sure the guy got it to scrap so he doesn't have but...

I was wondering the same thing . The guy has a set if 10" drums and an almost complete set of front discs on ebay. Looks like I have to go parts hunting. The good news is I found a mopar only wrecking yard near Portland or. Only 7 hrs away!
