No, it is from a 66'or 67' 273, 4 bbl Dart (4-speed or auto)

Install a boat motor.

I had a three-core radiator done for $100.00, in 1976. LOL I say find a set of good 22' tanks and have them recorded. An AC car should have 3 core tanks. Look in Florida, where are the AC cars were sent back then.

Oil pans are deeper in the trucks and vans, by one qt. They just don't fit in the cars that are stock.

I had a different issue. Had a set of Appliance headers back in the 70's, that had a reduction cone to 2", but I want a full 2.5 exhaust to the rear. I threw the cone in the trash and had a local shop weld the 4 bolt flange to the head pipe, to the rear. Now I had a full 2.5 exhaust and it was...

The problem is it is also for a 440 and 426 Hemi. Going to be expensive. Unless you are number matching, I'll look for a small block radiator that is also 22".

I I don't think the total length is as important as the spring perches would be. Get a measurement, grind them off and move them into the correct locations and weld then back on the tubes. It may even help for tire clearance.

It has the 67' 273 valve covers, so someone tried to make it look like a 273. First thing I would do before driving it is, change the thermostat housing. Those chrome ones always leak.

Hope they went to a good home and are being used, as they should be. I had 4 and sold 2 so they can be used. I have one in my car (in the photo) and one for a back up. maybe going to put it in a special vehicle one day, if I don't get too old first. LOL

Where are Where are your 340's?

I coul I could be wrong but I had a few B200 and B300 vans and they were all 727's with a 8 3/4 rear or dana 60. The rears will fit in a "B" body. Just a 1/2 inch wider, I believe. Many years ago. The dana's were 8 lugs, so could not be used easily.

Tt That is the one I have, low profile 3 ton aluminum, costs around $180. Had it for 5 years and picks the front end of my 2500 Cummins Truck with no problem. Had two Lincons and the seals go out after a couple years.

My book says the block is a 318, race engine, around 77'-78'. The heads appear to be the same time frame. Should be painted orange, which surprises me, because most engines were blue or black back then.

Don't forget your return springs.

A true statement. Some people "LOVE" the thrill of dangerous hobbies. Any kind of racing, sky diving, boxing or any other hard sports. Many die or are injured in NASCAR. Indy or even your local Roundy, rounds. It's a chance you take to have your personal run. Driving on the interstate is a...
