putting a ford 5.0 in a 72 Dart

Have you done the measurements to see that it will fit? What will you be doing for a transmission ?

It is a great platform that can make tons of power.No ill will from me. My best friend has a 440 in his Ford Fairmont so what is good for the goose.......

I think it would be cheaper to build a 360 or a 408 stroker and put fuel injection on it. However, if that is what you want then go for it! I would love to see it.

440 in a Fairmont... I love it...
I more like freiburger (or is it Finnegan?) that put a hemi in a 55 Chevy....
I get so tired of no matter what brand the body, "stick a 350 in there".... Now a days it's an LS instead (where's the beat your head against the brick wall icon?)

I remember my brother having a 69 F250 on which he was so fed up with its 390 he was considering swapping in a 318.... Until a high school buddy of mine wanted to sell his 69 galaxie that my brother bought for its 390, swapped engines and promptly sold the truck....
