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. Gary Pavlovich From: 'Larry Ashbaugh' via The 1962 to 1965 Mopar Mail List Clubhouse <1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 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. Larry -----Original Message----- I 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. > -------Original Message------- > > Can somebody please tell me what the different requirements needed for > engine swapping in my 65 Coronet, things such as K-member, motor > mounts, motor brackets, etc > She came with the poly- so...... > A ) to switch to an LA motor what is required? > B) To switch to a B or RB motor what is required? > And regarding the Tranny (auto), > A) will mine accept an LA onto it, or not. > B) What about a B or RB block? > Thanks > Neal -- > -- -- -- -- Please address private email -- email of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
