V4 360 Chrysler kit

Looks like a lot of $$$ and work for probably very little gain in mpg

I took a different route. The 440-6 in the '70 had "left town" in a spectacular way, and I had had a used 440 I bought (turned out to have 915 heads!!) in the car. I wanted to rebuild it and put it in my '64. So I bought a low miles 340 and swapped THAT into the '70 somewhere around '73. IT GOT 17.5 MPG and my driving was not that "careful!!"

This was taken either in 73 on leave or 74 after I was discharged. Car had the 340 in it then

On a side note, the guy I bought this from is a good friend, Navy, then. I had not seen him in person since about 76 or so, and just a couple months ago, he came up here to buy a new truck from Dave Smith Motors. So we got to sit down and have lunch!!! after 40 years!!!

This is an OLD photo I snapped right after the swap. I was BROKE!! I think I paid 450 for the engine, and got the junkie to throw in a 318 B body single exhaust "to get going." Several months later I put Hedmans on

I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANY COMMENTS!!!! ABOUT THE GOD DAMN FLEX HOSE!!! NONE!!!! KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF!!! SUCK IT UP!!! AND LIKE IT!!!
