SBC Swap Pictures?

[PatS....]

Does anyone have pictures of their SBC swap into these Mopars??? Just kinda curious about mounts and such.

I know many think it's just plain wrong, and that's OK.

I don't and that's OK too.

No decision, just curious.

Pat, are you pondering this transplant, not sure it would be so bad. I at first was going to do the same to my 47 Chrysler, but have since fell in love with flathead 6s.........

I'm just checking out what would be involved. I ended up with a real good 72 350/350 combo cheap from a rollover.

Could be a neat way to get the parts car going...I won't need ALL the parts from it and I hate the thought of scrapping it.

Just checking the water right now, Fred.

Ply-do should have everything you need. That is where I got most of my stuff.

Through speedway you can build the mounts for about a third of the cost of the ply-do kits. nothing hard about it.

Here are a few pics of the 327 down in mine. I had to get conversion mounts to set the motor back. It was sitting to far forward..

I don't have one in my garage. I do, however, have a real good sbc and no extra $ for a Mopar purchase or I would do that.

Because of over-zealous scrapping around here to keep 2 Pick N Pulls going for the last 20 yrs, there are virtually zero older Mopars around. Hardly any Fords and few GM's with V8's in 'em. The Dodge trucks I've found have been trashed or have a computer. I would put in an AMC engine before a computer engine.

As far as FIT goes, it seems a sbF would FIT the best, but I don't have one of those either.

Hopefully I can get the old girl on the road this year. I'll sell it before it spends another year on jack stands.

If that is a clip on there you might want to think about fish plating it! the sides of the clip should have been narrowed down to match the old frame, that thing is not on there to good and the welds look kinda bad also. just sayin!

looks like most GM frame clips I have seen..(not all are done this way)...this is what I referenece in the other thread about weld quality..this scares me more than anything Fatman is selling across the counter...
