440 swaps

[Don Dulmage <big-d@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Early Mopars from 57 or 58 on came with B series motors. first was the 350 (HELLO!!!!) then the 361 then there was an RB 383 and a B 383 (diffferent strokes for different folks) so it should be easy. me i would forget the later cars and buy the 56 wagon. With a OrRstyle 440 you could give the Nomad guys heart failure. 
many moons ago when i was younger I used to go to Georgetown Dragway near Toronto. Therewas a felow there running a 56  Ply and it would leave with a short wheelie and run high 12s. I asked him aboutit and he told me he had bougt a new first generation GTX. In a moment of bad judgement he went for a blast while under the influence and wrote the almost new GTX off. since he was drinking the insurance told him to get stuffed (they can do that here if you were underthe influence) so he took his wrecked GTX and swapped the complete Drivetrain untouched into his former car the 56 Ply 2 dr , the 440 , the  4 speed and 4,10 Dana. Later I met another fellow who had seen it and was doing an automatic car.The chevy guys were actually angry because they were running 13 and 14s and this dark green Plymouth could put them away with ease.  I thought is was a wonderful car. The same in a wagon would be brutal.

PS  Anyone know if the new 5.7 Hemi can be bolted to a 904 or 727?
