RE: Engine compatability 65 to 62 383

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes. 

I can't think of any odd stuff if you have all the original motors 
adapters, pulleys, etc.

Get the 1965 Chrysler's transmission also if you can and use it. You'll 
need to modify the driveshaft. Change the front pump to allow later 
torque converter.

Depends on the crate. I understand there was a lot of QC issues with the 
crate Hemi. I read recently where a guy bought a 426 crate Hemi and 
spent a lot ($6000? comes to mind; can't recall exactly) in machine shop 
fees to make it right. :( 

I've not heard anything about the crate big block wedge motors.
