/6 to 340swap

[cudar8r]

Ok so I have a 340 that I am going to put into a slant 6 '65 Barracuda. I assume I need to get the k frame from a 273 fish or does that even matter? also I see people concerned with a center link, is that also something I need to worry about as well?

Buy a V8 car that is not a Rusty car, to start with and save a Lot of work.

Trust me, on that.

Owned my own Mopars starting in 1976.

I have the small block trans already it came with the 340. But it sounds like I still need to get some more parts before even thinking about droppin the small block in. Ha ha. Oh well back to "Hoard and collect" mode.

And due to previous owner it has an 8.75 with 4:10 gears.
