who is the company that has the cheaper s/6 to 440 conversion, than schumacher
Mine are doing just fine.. they use small block isolators - they're $35 a pair if I tear one...Trans Dapt are junk. Beware you get what you pay for.
that was to make just one side solid and the other one rubber mount along with the trans mount rubber as well...not sureI was told to make one solid.. any thoughts.
thanks for the reply..iam using fender well headers... and see no probs as of yet that I cant handle there... so you have done a early a body /6 to a rb/bb...You need the Schumacher motor mount shim kit and torque strap, I had the same issue.. used shims on both sides.. Are you test fitting with the headers in place? If not you're wasting your time.. you need to shim the mounts for EVERYTHING to fit, not just the motor and oil pump..
Cutting the stock K member for the oil pump is normal and must be done
I would like to know who has but a 440 into a factory /6.. 66 dart...what mounts were used
thanks... its just a factory 440 in a 66 /6 dart... fender well headers... not worried about the headers...just engine mounting...If I were to do this swap using factory parts I'd look into something like this.
No I have a slant 6 71 Demon that I put a 383 in, they are all basically the same..thanks for the reply..iam using fender well headers... and see no probs as of yet that I cant handle there... so you have done a early a body /6 to a rb/bb...
here is what iam finding out the 66 is a 1 1/2 smaller in the engine bay...plus the firewall is not big enough to fit the 727 no matter where the engine sits lol its crazy...ill make it work lolNo I have a slant 6 71 Demon that I put a 383 in, they are all basically the same..
I'm using 2" under chassis headers, so shimming was needed to make everything fit.. I have stock big block isolators I'd sell - 1 already cut for the big block oil pump if you wish to try them? As I ran into the same problem you're having - and bought new 2" thick big block rubbers, but they were to tall for my setup, made the trans hit the tunnel, so I bought the Schumacher shim kit and a fox Mustang torque strap (I have an aftermarket K member).. PM if you're interested in the mounts - I'll sell them cheap

I have got the enging mounts in and the trans in place but.... the tailshaft is hitting the top of the floor right where the cross member goes, not letting me put the cross member one needing about 3/4 or so... to get the bolts through the cross member...thanks guys.....
and if that not bad enough...just noticed that since I moved the stright axel forward... the oil pan is only 1/2 away from the axel.... its a 7 quart.... any ideas....I have got the enging mounts in and the trans in place but.... the tailshaft is hitting the top of the floor right where the cross member goes, not letting me put the cross member one needing about 3/4 or so... to get the bolts through the cross member...

I need a break lol any input would be helpful..and if that not bad enough...just noticed that since I moved the stright axel forward... the oil pan is only 1/2 away from the axel.... its a 7 quart.... any ideas....
