Big Block Swap

383 is a blast in a light car, and pretty much unbreakable if never run out of oil. But it isn't a drop in, as stated above. I'm putting a 440 in my '69 Dart and the headers alone were 1K. Mounts, different water pump housing, transmission and driveshaft, rear axle, it all adds up, plus you really need to tie the subframes with the torque of a big block. I have waffled many times, but since I already had all the parts for the swap that's what I am doing, and converting to 4 speed while I am at it. My narrowed Dodge Van Dana60 is waiting for a locker.
