Swapping from 170 to 225
If anyone is curious, the swap went well. Thanks for the advise. After inspection, it appears someone put a post 67 engine in my 66 valiant parts car. So, I got really delayed when the output shaft didn't fit properly. No worries, there are always parts somewhere. Swapped the flywheel and torque converter to fit the bigger output shaft and viola, it all works. check the picture.
@Slantsix64 Didn't need to swap the oil pan, I guess someone already did that to fit it into the 66 valiant I pulled it out of, but thanks for the heads up, I would not have known that.
@mopar_nocar I'd totally have called for a hand, but it happened in random fits of work over several weeks. But, I have 170 laying on a pallet if you want to arrange a pick up. I also have a ton of parts for that engine if you care to have any of them. I'll send you a DM.
