74 Scamp gen 3 swap help

Shane,
These Gen3s are great engines for a swap, but don't kid yourself into thinking it's going to be an easy swap. Our old A-body cars were never engineered for this (as factory built) engine like the late model vehicles they came out of. Therefore, it's up to you to do your homework and decide what combo you wish to use to install one in your Scamp.

Keep in mind, everybody wants to sell you their "stuff" that's supposedly designed an easy swap, but these car's manufacturing tolerances are all different from each other and the standards of each aftermarket company for "fit" of this engine is different and often compromised.

I will say, the less "sophisticated" your build, the better your build will go. Using a Torqueflite for example, will help so you're not having to deal with trans tunnel / mounting issues. Keep it simple; get it in, running and driveable and then upgrade as you wish over time. That will help keep it from being a long term project just sitting in your garage like my Cuda!
