Engine swap.

[51Pymouth]

I am replacing my nice Flat six with a 360 and 904 transmission out of a 79 Magnum. Wondering if anyone has used the swap kit from Butch's Cool stuff. Looks like a pretty neat kit for small block Mopar into 51 Plymouth. Just wondering if anyone has experience doing this.

Thanks in advance.

got a 360/727 in a 52 but did not buy any catalog parts to do the job...

'Kits' are handy if you have limited skills, tools or a place to do serious work, especially now moving into Winter.

There are threads on the subject, look at Fester60  http://p15-d24.com/topic/25759-318-into-my-50-coronet/

 

BTW, you get extra Karma points for keeping it Mopar!

I put a 318/ 5 speed in my 51 but ended up fabricating my own mounts. I've seen another car with the ones from Butch's and they look really nice.

I dropped a newer (magnum) 360 and 5 speed into my 48. I made my own mounts also. Thread located here http://p15-d24.com/topic/37426-360-magnum-nv3500-in-my-48-plymouth/

Thanks for the reminder on your project. Any chance that you will be refreshing some of the photos ?
