'66 Cuda drag link needed, what will work?

[BobbyD]

Finally started putting the 360/727 combo in my '66 and have discovered threw this forum and a trial fit that I'm gonna need the dropped link. None of our local parts houses have a listing for it. What else if anything will work car and year wise?

64-66 V8 A-Body only will fit your car, check out ebay, I seen some on there or post a want ad for one here on FABO. Parts stores will not have it, check out some junkyards too, good luck!

Small blk has a 65 V8 carcass out in the field with steering on it, drop him a note.

Not sure on the drop link. Which pan do you have? You might be able to use a different pan and pickup and miss the drag link. Just a suggestion for what it's worth. Good luck! Mike

I have a 66 Dart and am planning the V8 swap in the future.I heard the 6 and V8 links were the same in 66.Is it different motor mounts to make this work.Or are the links different?This would be good to know for the future.Thanks.

Guys, there's an old thread on this where I posted some photos with measurements on the drop link in my 66. Second page near the bottom. Hope this helps.

i ran into this problem on my slant-to-v-8 swap but i shimmed the motor mounts with a 3/8" think piece of steel on each side and it gave me plenty of clearance btw the oilpan and draglink, about 3/4".
