how tough to put 318 in '64 Dart GT with Slant 6?

If "I" was doing it, I would not go 273.

Not knocking them. They are great little engines. Key word. Little. I would find a late model 5.2 magnum. Much more potential.

Late Model Magnum engine all the way. You can end up with a Fuel Injected Magnum in your ride for just a little more than an LA with a decent carb.

If you wanted to go all the way and throw in the late model trans with the magnum, you will have an awesome DD w/ overdrive.
