So I have the notch, good body-frame. I’ve been toying how to put together and want to hear the groups opinions. First option I have is the complete drive drain out of a 72 Duster, /6 w air 3 in the floor and 8-3/4, it was a twister. Second 318 ac auto 8-1/4 out of a 74 Dart (big bolt pattern) third 400 ac auto out of a 73 Chrysler. /6 I don’t know the condition but have 4 more. 318 and 400 where rebuilt awhile back (20 year ago) but no miles. I want a nice driver that gets decent millage, something I can let my wife drive (stick no problem for her). Let’s hear what you think. Pros and cons. Thanks

For daily driving I would go 318. Gives you a little extra power for passing when needed and you won't have to get crazy with stupid mount conversions or swapping the K member.
Thank you, I do have all 3 k-frames so not a biggy on that part. Forgot to add, I have a 360-380 but I think that would be to radical.

Mild 400.
I have a fresh mild 400 I'll give you a deal on.
Already have one thanks anyway.
Based on what you said that you want out of the car, 318. Gas mileage, solid running, with a little kick when needed.
Starting to agree on that.
