73 Scamp 5.7 Swap

408 swinger.

I am doing the exact same swap. only thing I have different was the tti headers. when I started to collect the parts nobody could tell me definitely the jeep manifolds worked. Now I know. I have aprox dollar for dollar that you have in mine. I kept the pistons and put new bearings and oil pump in mine. I am going to be dropping the motor in over the next couple of weekends when my son comes home from school. much easier with two hands. I am going to use my Fast efi system for fuel and I two did by the Hemi 6 box.
If I can ask what head gasket did you use. I used the factory thickness with a .022 shim installed so I could get the compression down around 11.5 keep me in the pump gas area. if I have problems tuning I will drop the cash for the .060 cometics to get me down to the 9.5 to 10.5 area and get ready for boost!!
Good luck and I hope we can compare notes in the future.
