Best donor for 360 into 72 Valiant 6cyl
I just went through this with a slant '72 swinger. I bought a '75 swinger with a dead 318, and dented body panels. I used the k frame, disk brakes, drive shaft, radiator, sway bar, engine brackets, and 81/4 rear for the '72. It's so easy to make the swap when you have every nut and bolt needed right there. I bought a 1978, 4bbl 360/a999, 904 at pick n pull for $200, on half price day. I swapped the 71/4 axle, drum brakes and slant into the beat up '75, and sold it on Craigslist for nearly what I had paid for the car. This is the easiest, cheapest way I have found to swap out a slant for a small block v8. I'm on the west coast where an old cheap '73-76 a body can be found, with a little looking around.
