wow! how do u drop a 440 into an early mopar

[Robert neal zimmerman <northwestweirdo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

i went out to buy an engine stand  from a guy that had advertised one
for sale on Craigslist., oh my god, and  i thought i was a nut, u should
have seen this  old guys barn, seems to be a bit of a station wagon nut-
he has a 56 plymouth suburban 2 door station wagon( his very first car)
a 59 chevy wagon, a 71 torino wagon, a whole bunch of 55, 56, 57
plymouths and dodges, a 63 plymouth , and a real weird looking car
called a 1961 plymouth belvedere.I think I saw a 1960 fury  way back
there and he said he had a  1961 desoto.
  Mam, I couldnnt believe it, what a kook, theres more too, i just didnt
  see it all, and hes selling it all, and pretty cheap, man  am i
  tempted. the 59 chevy wagon which is mainly  just a roller with some
  trim left,  and all the glass and bumpers he said i could have for  35
  dollars, yep thats right, not a misprint, the 56 plymouth wagon for
  2000 bucks because it comes with two parts cars. still runs  , its a
  flathead  six i think , and man that 61 belvedere would sure look
  tough all low down with a narrowed rear end , wheelie bars and a blown
  440 sticking out the hood.
  will this early  mopar stuff  take  later mopar power trains with out
  too much trouble? or is it   a whole different ball of wax?
  some of them had the 318 polys so i imagine it would be no problem to
  swap in a 318 LA engine. one of them was a hemi, a  271 or something
  like that...
  sorry for the off -topic, i just got back and i am about ready to pee
  my pants in excitement.I cant get that 61 belvedere out of my mind,
  absolutely  the ugliest car i have ever seen probably,  but i wouldnt
  care.
  i am going back tomorrow with my camera,   when the lights better, 
  the light was starting to fade.
