Want to put a magnum 5.9 in my 70 dart.

Thank you everyone for your responses. Definitely liked the magnum swap page lots of good information there.

Guess I left out some details. I plan to do carb setup on the motor keeps it simple and can be upgraded as money allows. Car is automatic I did want to have overdrive but the floor is in pretty good shape and don't want to chop it up. So will probably be going with just a 904 transmission.

Do you guys run electric fans or use the stock fan? The plan for the car is to be a driver.

If you do want to swap to EFI later, you can always use a Dual Sync dizzy to get both cam and crank position sensors to replace the factory crank position sensor.

Remember that the Magnums need radiators have a driver's side inlet and a passenger side outlet. I used a thermal clutch with a 5 blade fan from a later model Cherokee. The came with an 11 blade fan too, but that thing made the car sound like an airplane.
