Have a question for you guys. I know its a simple swap but im on a tight budget so i need to get all the details planned out first. Going from a /6 to a 318in my 74 dart. This is what ive got so far. 318, v8 radiator, headmen headers.
This it what ive come up with
1. V8 k-frame going to try to get one from junkyard, can't see spending 150.00 for the shcumacer mounts. Ill be able to use stock mounts
2. Trans, convertor and possible flexplate. Going to try to find a 904. Should be able to use my stock /6 driveshaft right? At least for a little while.
Also got to get the kickdown linkage.
3. Does any one know if the pulleys from my 6 will work on the 318 im thinking maybe the water pump but not the crank. I have to get the alt. brackets also. Can you use the alt bracket from an ac car even though i dont have ac?
4. Can i use my throttle cable? Also need the throttle bracket.
Ill have a coil and ill use my 6 alternator. Have to get a belt , and rad hoses, should be able to reuse my fan and i also have an electric. Modify the wiring and fuel pump hose routing. I know ill have to get mufflers and exhaust done but if theres anything else anyone can think of please let me know, i dont want something small to stop the project when i get started. It will be a longweekend swap so i can get the car running to get back to work. Thanks alot!
