1964 DODGE DART SLANT 6 to a V8

Removed a slant 6 from my 64 Dart convertible..built a 318 and am ready to put it in the car.. mixed opinions on replacing the crossmember to a V 8 style whatever that is..?? Shoemacher conversion engine mount is perfect...anyone else done this??? Does it fit ??

no needs for a conversion mount. you just need the factory v-8 mounts. the k-frame is the same for a slant and a v-8 in an early abody.

if you can't find nice used mounts then you can get them new from schumacher. http://engine-swaps.com/Pages/ProductsYear/63.66aBody.html

exhaust is the other pain in the ***. this is what the factory manifolds look like. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=271974

i know other manifolds will fit in there but with power steering it it may be tough to find a set that fit other then the original type..

do you have a v-8 trans yet? if not you need one of those also because the slant 6 one will not bolt to a v-8. do your self a favor and stay with a 904. it fits those cars a little better.. does that car have a push button automatic? if so you may need to get an aftermarket shifter for it too. a v-8 pushbutton 904 is getting harder and harder to find...
