Thinkin about putting a 440 in my dart?

[bamamopar]

I have a 70 440 with 727. What all do I need other than headers and mounts to make it work?

What engine do you have in the Dart right now? Depending if your starting point is a /6 or SB you may want to think on bigger brakes, bigger radiator, stronger rear end, 3/8" fuel line... Am I missing something??

transmission and or bell housing for a big block.

You will have to modify the heater blower motor or remove for clearance
Of the valve cover

I have a 360 with a 727 now. I have a 727 with a 3k stall for the 440

 

[bamamopar]

Its running 8.3s spinning now with the 360. Its has 3.91 gears in a 8 3/4 and disk brakes. I bought a 69 gts 383 when I was 13 and took the 8 3/4 and brakes off it. Then sold the rough rusty body
