Big Block Conversion $$$

You can move the rear back if you have the room , you just need to move back the springs , maybe there is a front hanger that will accomplish it or mount them inboard and just mount it further back . but make sure the rear isn't going to hit the gas tank.

I wouldn't use the poly bushings on the lower control arm ... 2 cents ...

What's the DRIVESHAFT PROBLEM ??? mount the trans , mount the rear , measure what you need and have it made , it's not rocket science .

What is the car that you found this engine in ? maybe its a 400 ??? same block height as the 383 , more cubes which isn't a bad thing .

Thanks for the info....
The suspension kit came with all poly bushings except the lower ones....(Supposed to not squeek???)

Driveshaft? I was referring to having it shortened.....not really a problem. But if I can adjust things so I can drop one in...that's $$$ that I don't have to spend! (I'm budget build here...not cheap, but budget:happy10:)
The engine isn't in a car..and the car it was in is long gone....
Buying another car is a no-go...they simply don't exist here!!! Unless I can scrounge one out of a yard.....long shot.

It is very possible that it is a 400....I have no idea how to tell the difference in Mopar BB's.
