I suppose so. It would be trick to install the new Gen III Hemi bolted in one of the '64's in with the old push button shifter, so with the hood closed, it looks stock. But if a newer trans is used might as well use a new overdrive transmission. But too much modification for me, I like the idea of bolting it in with the old stock trans....careful now, you guys are giving me too many ideas....

In as far as the 66 tranny I think I would find a newer version, that way you would be able to use newer style less expensive converter and other parts. The 62 to 65 trannys are keepers so you can keep your pushbutton shift with a Gen III HEMI if you like.

So this is a good reason to hold onto the '64 auto trans that i have that came out of the 318 polyhead parts car that I have, for future interesting "possibilities"? (or for that matter the 727 torqueflite that was removed from the wrecked '66 318 polyhead car)

This is a little late in the game on an old subject but a polly bellhousing will not only bolt to a 360 it will also bolt to the Gen III HEMIs. Just interjecting.

I installed a 360 from a '77 Charger in my '64 330 wagon a couple of decades ago after I burned up the car's original 318 poly head engine. It was an easy swap, almost a direct bolt in replacement. The bellhousing, flywheel , front timing cover with water pump, distributor, and one of the motor mounts swapped right on 360 from the old 318. Only one motor mount, the right one I think, did not fit well, I was only able to use 2 of the 3 mounting bolts and one needed a spacer. A hokey way of installing the motor mount but for a street car it worked fine. Since I purchased the engine as junk yard stripped down long block, I installled an Edelbrock Performer cam/intake/carb package. Along with the four speed I installed to replace the original 3-speed, the car ran great and was a kick ass blast to drive. It ran that way for a number of years, the mileage was decent and I used it to drive to work, where the car was well known. If I had used a good rebuilt engine, the car would probably still be in that configuration today, but I eventually burned that engine up as well. I gave the car to my son as a high school project, and he stepped it up to a 383 magnum engineBen Morgan So what if I have cars in my yard1966 Dodge Coronet 5001964 Dodge Polara 2-dr HT1964 Dodge 330 Station Wagon1954 Ford F-100 (Grandpa's Truck)1990 Ford Bronco 5.8Lplus a few other wrecks and lawn ornaments
