440 will not fit in duster ? ?? need help assap doing motor now !!!
hey small block how have you been? If i have the money me and tyler are going to go to monster mopar. Ok back to the question. I put a 440/727 in my factory 318 73 dodge dart. I used the shumacker(spelling) 318-440 motor mounts and tti 2 inch headers. I am useing a 8 quart morose oil pan. I do not know if i am very lucky or what. but i put the engine tranny and headers in all at the same time and had everything bolted in in about 30 minutes. also i did not have to beat or ding anything. also i fot got what year car the poster had. but if you put the idler arm,drag link and pitman arm off a 73 up disc brake A-body you will gain alot of room. I reasion i say this is because on the 72 dwon a-bodys the pitman arm stud etc point up. which will hit your oil pan etc and on the 73 up abodys they point down. here is a engine shot of my dart. best of luck to the person having all the problems.thanks Mopar658)
