HOW ABOUT A 1979 318 V-8 IN MY '73 SCAMP?

Woah, what’s with the caps lock?

First off, do you have the tools needed for the work? If not, add that into your budget before buying components for the upgrade. Also, do some reading (searching on this forum) to educate yourself on the basics. You will realise a slant 6 transmission will not fit on small block V8.

Why not drive the car for a bit as is to learn about things before diving in with the engine upgrade?

Sorry about the caps lock, I'm actually at work and use it almost exclusively here at work. I just got off the phone with the motor guy, he said he has Diplomat/Volare cars in abundance, so I could just go out there, look and pick out which one I think is best for my project. He also said they would all have a 904 trans, so my driveshaft should work just fine. Total cost for motor/trans combo with brackets, bolts, and wiring is $250.00 out the door. Should I also make a deal on the radiator out of that car? Anything else I should look for that would be helpful? I may run over there this Saturday! Thanks
