--Larry,
As I said before and as you have experienced, the Poly is a great “do all things well” Mopar powerplant. I am “finally” making progress on my Poly Stroker and doing the detail and final hook-up work now. Attached some pictures of my 600HP Poly.

Right on Larry. I have been talking to Neal on other parts needs but he does has a 383 in the wings. If the 383 is road worthy it would be a powerful swap but needs the big block trans and some other changes…most likely driveshaft length needs to be checked.
But yes, the Poly build with stock stroke and hotter cam & HP Carb setup is quite impressive and of course more HP & TQ is very simple and not inordinately expensive. I have all the build sheets to suit all power levels and I send them out freely so people don’t pay more than they should to “experts” or shops making margin.

I agree.. The Poly can be made to "wake-up" and Mopar and most non-Mopar folks think it is a Big Block Motor. I used a hotter cam from Gary P in my 64 Fury Convertible, and a 4bbl intake and it really moves out, and looks phenomenal. If you are just going from a small-block Mopar to another, consider keeping the Poly. lots of parts transfer between LA and Poly engines.

Subject: Re: 65 B-body motor swaps/ TranniesI see Jay has that process covered. :)
You also may do a cost / labor comparison with sticking with the Poly in there. I've been at several shows over the years
where the spectators are bug-eyed looking at the Poly 318. They never saw one before! :)
Lastly, factor in the end goal for the '65. Daily driver? Racer? Show car? etc.
Thanks,
Gary H.
