I have a 68 notch cuda that has been sitting in my back yard for a few years, and I am looking to start in on it soon. I was wondering if you guys can give me a few measurements on the suspension so I can see if I can fit the motor I want in it. I need measurements from the motor mounts to the steering linkage to the bottom of the k member. I would just yank the busted old 340 out of it and do it myself but I would rather keep it intact just so if my plan doesnt work out, I can just sell it. I was planning on doing a chevy ls swap in it for good power and decent mpg.

Has this never been done? I have done a couple of swaps in a vega and in a fox body I was wanting to do one in a mopar next.

I dont think a chevy motor belongs in everything its just that I have a garage full of ls parts and it wont cost me anything in motor cost to build a very strong engine, while i priced out building a 340 and its waay to expensive to even come close to making the same power. so just to save me money i was just wanting some measurements to see if its even plausible.

Yep may times they have. And they all end up like this. Chevy has no place in a mopar. And your comment about the 340? Really one of the baddest small blocks ever built. If you have a garage full of LS parts sell them all and build that 340.

if its too expensive for you , then you need to stick with your garage full of chevy parts , sell the barracuda to someone who will have a little more respect for it and give the resto it deserves instead of hacking it up for some lame ls motor.

chevy power in a mopar is ghey
 
Chevy is OK-just remember to put an 8.8 in it.I can get you a link for that!!!!
 
im not trying to be piss anyone off im just trying to save me a engine pull for some simple info if someone already has it?
 
Oh no You have to be shitting me right ? Post the car for sale and buy you some thing to put a chevy in ! . If you want to do some thing better then that put a slant 6 in a 340 car its better then a 350 ... Btw my DD has a 350 in it guess what .ITS a chevy .
