i need help with my 70 dart
yea not really into the spending money thing but a buddy told me i could use headers for a certain year cuda but im not sure i also considered a 340 and ive found the motor mounts so i dont have to use a k member but i havent read anything on how strong they are or how well they hold up
HI, Adam. Just thought I would give my 2 cents
If your not into really spending money, I would recomend you Not do a big block. i just finished building my 1970 duster 440, and I don't see how you could do the swap for under $4,000. I did mine by finding the best prices I could, and it cost me about $5000, not including the price of the car, or engine, or diff.
If you go big block you will need disc brakes ( you have to stop) and an 8 3/4 rear. your car is only as strong as your weakest point.
If I were you, and budget was an issue, i would do a small block.
Good running 360 for $500
auto Tranny for $200
schumacker Motor mounts for $180
$200 for nickel and dime stuff ( oil, gaskets, spark plugs, etc etc)
$200 for exhaust
total of $1280. You can't do all that with a big block....trust me. Look at my thread if you want.
