I would let it to his definition of the word CHEAP... Not a thing wrong with a 318 if it saves the car from scrap or Chebbie/Ford power! I would suggest you look into the truck arm style rear suspension unless it will be a track only car. Wasn't it you that built a circle track car for someone? The Classic already has a beefy section in it's middle to help handle the tube. It should be fairly easy to fab and rework for a truck arm setup. -- Mark Price Morgantown, WV 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Brien Tourville" <hh7x@xxxxxxxxxxx> > > > > [ Double-click this line for list subscription options ] > > From: d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx> > Subject: [Amc-list] engine swap... sacralidge or not???? > > > so, i ran into a guy today who has a 74 charger. he > just got the new "hemi" crate engine and trans kit. he > currently has a 318 bored "30 or 40 over" with a 727. > he said once he gets the swap done, he wants to dump > the engine and trans CHEAP. he made CHEAP very clear. > about 5000 miles on rebuilt motor i guess. would it be > so wrong to put that drive train in the 65 with either > a ladder bar or triangulated 4 link? i mean, atleast > it aint ch*bby or f.o.r.d. eh, just another thing that > floated thru my head when he said that. alot of crazy > things go thru my mind sometimes. if thats TOO crazy, > someone just yell at me and get me back to my rm. its > getting late. mind is wandering. lol. > > > dave stohler > http://picasaweb.google.com/das24rules/62RamblerClassicCustom > > > > > > > <~^!> > > > > > > > > > > Oh!.......... and perhaps a .......'Turbo' 2......."? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ........Ha - Hahhhh.........!........... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ........yEisssss............... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > .........."Welcome......to 'The Dark Side' ................ > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ............of............
