68 Barracuda 440 swap parts needed
Great site guys! I have a 68 cuda I'm restoring; its been in the family since it was new. Im in the process of putting a 440 in and need to round up some parts. I need the motor mounts and headers I have a 4-speed and power steering. I know you can buy them new just thought I would see if someone had them used. I need a BB bell housing I have the flywheel from my 318 that I think I can use but the clutch and pressure plate will have to be replaced. Im also looking to upgrade the rear end from the 7 ¼ that is in the car now so Im looking for a complete 8 ¼ or an 8 3/4. I live in Clyde, Oh 43410
I have just done all this to my duster in the last couple monthes.
Yes you can use a 318 fly wheel if it is internally ballanced. if the 440 is externally ballanced, you can have the flywheel drilled.
you will need one of three bellhousings. casting #2468370, 2468372 and 2892513. and you can only use these if you are going to use the Shumacher motor mounts swap. otherwise you can use a biger bellhousing if you use elephant ears.
I bought alot of parts from brewers performance.
I bought my bell housing from a guy on this forum...Thanks again Robbie!!!
and I have bought other parts from summit, rock auto parts, and my local parts store.
Use Big block dart web site for info as well, you can find out what headers you can use there. You can also take a look at my duster project if you like.
Best advice would be...get used to putting the engine in and out and in and out.....
and ask questions on here...you WILL get answers.
