| Post subject: | '79 engine in a '64 |
To make things go a bit faster when it's time to pull the engine from my '64 Valiant convertible, I'm going to build up a '79 engine and have it ready so I can swap over a weekend. I know the cranks are different and that I will need an adapter spacer for the converter nose, but is there something else I might be forgetting? This is for a car that is never raced, so the rod size and cast crank are not a concern. Does anyone know a source for the converter adapter?...or will I have to visit a machine shop to get one made? |

Pat Blais sells the adapters from his Ebay store. http://stores.ebay.com/TFlite-Pattys-Sh ... idZ2QQtZkm oil pan and pick up will be an issue - The 79 pan does not fit with the /6 center link and the 62-66 kmember. |

Thanks for the link! Yes, I knew I will have to swap pans and pickup, but thanks for reminding me. |

You will also need the flexplate/flywheel from the later engine. |
