Get a real drive train, not that Chevy crap
I woundn`t do it either, unless I had both laying around and nothing to do . I built a 406 sbc, it was easy and very fast. had it in a vega, and then a 92 gmc p/u. I have a lot more respect for them now. they are getting big cubes w/ aftermarket 4.500 bore small blocks now too. they will out run the same size big block, in many instances. .
My dad had a 78 chevy monza spyder we thought about doing that too but decided it wasnt worth it
If I wanted a 12 second car, I would use the 340 I have. This Dart was bought new to be a race car. It's a no options, radio, stripe delete Swinger. My dad raced stock class with it. Front fender Wells have been cut out for headers, not removed completely. Thought about restoring it, but after years of sitting in body shops getting one crappy paint job after another, I decided it needs to be a race car again. I have a mild 340 short block and the original trans. But I also have a 1000hp SBC with splayed valve heads, sheet metal intake, etc. Has multi nitrous kits. I have a killer glide set up with converter. I don't have a gm car to put it in. Had a rust bucket Chevy ll but got rid of it. Dart was F5 green originally but now going to paint it white because I like white better. I will put all the stock parts in my garage, build the Dart the way I want it. If I had a high horsepower SB Mopar, I would use it. Unless someone wanted to give me enough money for the Dart to buy a GM car for my engine or give me enough money for the Chevy engine to build me a mapar engine, then I am going to do what I can with what I got. Thank you for your concern, but there is nothing crap about the drive train I have.
