There was a guy on the A Body Big Block forum who had done this to a Dart. 
I ask for pictures since I was very curious how he did it. I looked to see
if I 
saved them, but can't find the pictures. I am sure the reason I did not was 
all the work he went thru to do this. I am in agreement with Dustin having
seen 
it done, not worth the effort. It was not the cleanest conversion I have
seen. To 
bad Bill Rilley does not make a front end for B bodies. What he makes for A
bodies 
is a very nice application and works great.

There are ones that run in front and one that run behind the crossmember. 
Its a lot of work for little to no gain. On a pre-60's car, I would say go
for it, but for a 60's/70's Mopar there is no point. You will have to buy of
fab a new cross member and most likely buy aftermarket UCA and LCA's that
handle coil springs, then a pair of used spindles, new rack, adapt a PS pump
to work on the Mopar engine that wont kill the rack(manual racks were
produced, but only for 4 cylinder cars), then adapt the steering column to
work(or buy a after market unit).
