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

[Bob Fortson <bobt1885@xxxxxxxxx>]

Neal...I have a friend presently intalling a 318/904
in a Dodge 2 Dr, "Club Coupe"...a resto rod thing. He
has found K members, brake master brackets for disks
and many other "prefabed" parts on the web to make his
life easier. In short, "It's been done already !"...so
just find the guy...etc., etc. He plays on a websiter
for the earlier 50's Mopars that is very similar to
our list.

Also...

A lot of wrecker/tow trucks have "assist dollies"
hanging all over them...pehaps you have a wrecker
friend that might "loan/rent" you one for a Sat.
effort ? Maybe you can negotiate a "at your convience
and at a much cheaper price" pull from there to you. I
did. Got the parts car for my buddy that way and saved
1/2 of the tow fee.
