Re: 392 Hemi

Dave:

I was going to put one, 392", in my parents 62 Dodge Dart back in 65.  
I realized I needed an adaptor for the 318" Torqueflite. It was  
available from Art Carr Transmissions in CA. I think he is still  
around. We flew out and saw him back in 1966 when we switched it to a  
56 Austin-Healey.

I have a chance at a reasonably priced 392 Hemi, and I'm looking for  
input from anyone here who can help.  Does anyone know if it'll bolt  
right into my '64 Belvedere's K member?  I know a 426 will, but I  
don't know about a 392.  Can I use my small block Torqueflite with  
it?  From what I've been able to determine, I may need an adaptor, but  
otherwise it should work.  The transmission is freshly rebuilt, so  
that's why I would want to keep using it if possible.

I don't remember ever seeing a 392 in a '60s era B body before, but  
then again, my memory isn't all it used to be cracked up to be.

Thanks in advance for your input.
