1962 dodge lancer v8 swap. info needed

Keep the slant! I started on my V8 swap in my 65 valiant in 2001. I just drove it for the first time yesterday! In retrospect, a turbo on the 170 woulda been a better way to go. And i could have been driving my car for the past 11 years! If you decide to go the V8 route, be prepared for many unforseen setbacks and obstacles. Finding a cable shift 904 isnt a realistic proposition these days, and without that one thing, you gotta either change the steering column to a later model linkage shift, or use a cheezy aftermarket floor shifter. Headers/manifolds are another big issue. They gotta be specific to early a body. And the stock 7 1/4 rear wont stand up to much more than a stock 318 with spirited driving, so plan on changing that too. Custom driveshaft? you bet! Brakes? That too. Torsion bars? Damn, the list just keeps getting longer! Keep the slant!
