Goin V-8

A Member of my local Mopar Club, recently converted his 360 powered D200 Camper Special to a Cummins. He has offered the motor, (22,000 origional Miles) to me for $500. We are still negotiating a price for the 727.


Any tips or advice for transplanting into my early A-Body. I have heard that only certain exhaust manifolds will fit.

I plan to overhaul the motor, before putting it in my car, as I would imagine the gaskets and stuff would be pretty dried out with the lack of use.

Plans for motor include a rpm airgap intake, and a 4bbl carb (Suggestions). Some sort of new Cam (Suggestions) I am hopefull that the heads do not need too much work, and that minimal machining is required!!!

I drive my car every day so i need a drivable motor, I am planning to take it to the track on friday nights, and at the odd show, so performance is important too.

My wife.......er Budget dictates that I can only spend in about 5-700 dollar increments. per month.
