1962 dodge lancer v8 swap. info needed

on a side note if anyone knows of a better engine trans set up let me know.

im basically just looking to make myself a fun daily driving street rod.

so whatevers the most cost effective is best for sure.

am i going to have more luck connecting a 904 to a 318 LA? or same balancing issues again?

the only reason i was talking 904s in the first place is cause i kinda feel like i dont know my *** from a hole in the ground at this point haha.
ide assumed anything else ide have to cut up my floor.

im looking to figure this all out and get to buying up goodys and then getting it together come spring when the weather permits here in michigan

is there a v8 and trans out of something in particular i could pretty much just drop in? im aware ill have to make room for distributor. i do want a floor shift. im ok with cutting / replacing drive shaft. just looking for best place to start.

360 was what i wanted. cause its big haha. but ill take whatevers doable
