So it's been about a wk since my last post.Where my update??. The masses need to know ya know.

 

Looks like another one is falling through.

 

OP may have just gotten tired of having to defend his swap and listening to the bickering of what constitutes a swap. You can put a chevy engine into just about anything and its cool...but try to put something else into a chevy and lookout!

That's too bad. I'd like to see how this one turned out.

 

A swap would constitute anything other than the original. If someone has a 5.0 305 TPI and he put another 305 in, that isn't a swap and I don't think that changing from EFI to carb on the same motor should be considered as a swap. I believe the main reason someone goes to a carb setup is because they don't understand or know enough to fix EFI.. There are also people that also just like carbs. A chevy 302 or a 5.4 or 5.7 would be a swap because it is something different. Even though people have put Ford or Chrysler or even a 2JZ motor in their car and someone doesn't approve.. The owner shouldn't care as it is their car and their own design, other people will find interest in it.. I hope he does go through with this and takes alot of pictures, as I know there are other people that have expressed interest in this or even possibly even thought about it themselves.

 

Anyone can start a project, but not evertone completes them. I an not a fan of cross breading, but I would like to see this 440 swap done and running.

 

Glad some unerdstand the passion and work that goes into some of these swaps

 

I personally cant wait to drive it

 

Think outside of a box always

 

Think outside the box always

 

So does that mean that this project is still a go? I think that like it or not we all want to see the finished car.

 

Its in the works doing the transmission now

 

Guess what it fit better than expected

 

Doing the a-727 first

 

isn't that the best way

 

they don't need to know me until the start line

 

Already did those

 

Already did what? even if you did it right and had a good tuned motor i think a stock lt1 thirdgen would take you for half the cost and the laughs.

 

So you bump the thread 4 months later and still nothing? Hell of a tranny rebuild.

 

True had to rebuild gfs Camaro but now back on mine

 

Guess we will have to see

 

Those holding their breath died years ago. Subscribed for lulz.

 

Just like the 440 engine design

 

Lol right well its still in the works and the best part its a fun build

 

Its getting there I keep going back and making things stronger

 

Because this one is all mine

 

 

Its not the end its the journey

 

Lol you must be correct

 

Is it done yet? I used to run a 440 dart street racer. 67 gts 383 with a 440 swap 3.92 gears Isky cam edelbrock 3x2 intake with 3 500 cfm Holley deuces and a 727 trans with b&m rebuild kit. Mallory ignition 15 btc and 30 degrees on the dist. It would launch hard enough to pull the wheels off. So I would like to know what one would do in a third gen

 

Go for it ! These engines provide a HUGE amount of torque . Be sure the rest of the car can handle it ! Plenty of Aftermarket heads , intakes , cams , cranks etc. available as well . You can go as far as 632 " if you wish (with the appropriate crankshaft / piston combo ) .B/E- body headers will probably be a close fit and you can use a turbo 350 or 400 with a J.B. Racing Trans bell housing / adapter (complete bellhousing is bolted to the trans - takes care of starter flywheel/flexplate issues ) or stick with the tried and true 727 torqueFlite. The stock rear member in the 3rd Gens are incredibly week by Mopar standards so a Forb 9" or better yet an aluminum Dana 60 is the way to go.

Best of Luck with the swap !

The project is well under way trans is done with a huges 2800 stall new Kevlar bands and clutches shift kit and shortblock is together waiting on a 509 purple shaft and a hemi box ignition I will post some new pics soon.

 

I would think strongly about different pistons and aluminum heads of your choice.. and to be REALLY different ,how about a 6pack intake to feed it?.

 

what you need is called a "883" 4 speed. they were THE one to use and theyre stronger than he$$.

 

That`s an A833. 4 Spd trans . Were produced in latter years as an O.D. trans as well (late 70`s into the 80`s)

 

subed, want to see this thing fire up

 

:'(

 

He has not logged in in nearly four years,I am curious if he got it running and driving.
Maybe this resurrection will yield and update.

 

Me too! Was really hopeful on this one, sounded like he was getting close.

 

Bummer... I wanted to see those sexy side pipes in action!

 

Yo! I know it's been 8 years since you've been active in the forums, but I'd like a update on this swap if possible!!! Sounds sick! I've been tempted to do the same thing and I'm just curious about how hard was it..? and if you actually finished it or not..

 

really nice work. What kind of 1/4 mile times?

 

Whoa blast from the past! Yeah did this ever get finished?
