74 to 65 Drivetrain Swap!

take pictures-- to assist yourself-- your swap sounds pretty straight forward-- a 318 for a 340-- you should have all the parts already at your disposal.


not sure if the cars wheel base are the same, if so- your donor car has the drive shaft you need (8.25 vs 7.25)

if both sets of rear springs are the same (used)--- leave the rears attached & unbolt the rear shackle & the front mount-- then roll the assembly out/in-- much easier than lifting!!

The really weird part of my swap was that the driveshaft was the right length but it should not have fit because the donor car (1971 Demon) had a 108" wheelbase and my '64 Valiant had a 106".

WHY WAS IT THE RIGHT LENGTH?

It should have been too long.

But, it wqn't; it fit perfectly, so I used it.

Go figure...:wack:
