    Picking the "right" 383 block? Different styles?

    I have heard the same that the engine is mounted from the left front corner, sure someone with real information can assist. I have a 413 out of a 65 300 with the provisions for this mount style, interesting enough the 413 is a 68 date code warranty block! I can take pics of the mount if you need.

    Help with 413 Build please

    Please post more as you go on with this as I would love to see what you do here. I am building what I hope will be a low buck car from a 70 dart swinger with my 16 year old son. I started with pulling the car out of a field where it had set over 20 years, paid $250 for it. took our time...

    Big Block into 1970 Swinger

    Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Yah the T/A is mine, picked it up in 1975 for $1,049.00, did not know what a T/A was at the time, just knew I wanted a 340 4-speed! It is in pretty decent shape, but I do drive it and have no appreciation for trailer queens. I last repainted it about...

    Big Block into 1970 Swinger

    Good points, thanks. It is my understanding that the mounts are the same as a 383 and it is my expectation to go with headers.

    Big Block into 1970 Swinger

    I am hoping some of you guys might be able to offer some guidance for me on a /6 to big block swap into a 1970 Swinger. I have a restoration project going with my 16 YO son, we pulled a 1970 dart Swinger out of the woods last year and have replaced the floor pans and are slowly working our way...
