1962 dodge lancer v8 swap. info needed

um... you're in for fun! first all of the small blocks are about the same, so you can do a 360 about as easy as any of them. the trans will not work. the 6 trans has a different bellhousing configuration. if you can find a 904 cable shift v-8 trans you're in business, but make sure it's up to the added torque you're adding putting it behind a 360. the other alternative I've been looking into is to run a 2004R gm overdrive trans with an adapter plate.
the biggest issue running a v-8 in these is distributor clearance in the heater box area. you can either cut the box and move the heater core, or look into going distributorless on your 360.

right. ive hear of that issue. i planned to remove all the heating elements anyway so a lil chop scoop and reweld is no issue.

so far i pull engine toss it or save for something else. pull trans and do same. i was just looking on craigslist locally and a guy had a 360 w a 727 tranny. no ive also read if i went that route ide have to cut up the floor. am i better off searching out a cable link 904 or the other you suggested?

sorry im like mr 500 questions here
