Everything but pistons will swap with another RB engine. Oil pan, cam, lifters, timing set, timing cover, heads, and water pump will swap between all big blocks.

 

JC Auto knows all about the EL dashes and how to fix them. I don't know specifically which cars got them, but if there are white wires with special red connectors to your cluster, you've got EL.

Subject: [FWDLK] 383 RB

What engine parts (intakes & exhaust manifolds, internals, etc) will interchange with the '60 383RB engine in a Saratoga?  Will some 413/440 parts fit?  How about 361, 400 or 383B parts?

I'm looking to keep an eye out for parts as they come on the horizon.  Engine was supposedly rebuilt less than 10k ago.  Any sources for sheet metal (some old repairs are starting to bubble in the usual places). 

Also, is the dash "bubble" powered with electroluminescent power packs like the early Chargers?  If anyone has any parts for this car, I would appreciate a line.  I will know more of what I need once I get my garage cleared out and the car inside.

Thanks.
