| Post subject: | 360 swap? |
I know this is the slant six website, but i am thinking of going with a v8 swap i mean thats the reason why i wanted a muscle car anyway. Besides on 1/2 price day at pick a part i can get an engine and trans for $300. I just wanted to know if anyone could give me a total list of what i'm gonna need? Anything else besides the engine, trans ,radiator and shroud, motermount swap for k member,kickdown set, alreadt has disk brakes in front and 10 inch in the rear , torsion bars,wiring harness, tranny cross member,driveshaft, drop center steering link am i missing anything?P.s. i have a 74 duster with a 225 in it. |

If you must, shoot for something like the Green Brick |

How about clifford head, intake, headers, cam, fuel injection, supercharger from the supercharger store on a nice rebuilt balanced blueprinted engine bored to what ever and then all the fiberglass pieces you can find, fenders, hood, trunk, bumpers, doors (not recomended for street use), and a kick ass trans either 5speed or 4speed auto and a nice rear end setup? WHEEW. Hows that for a setup, should be fairly quick and definatly unique. It's not that I don't have any slant six ideas, I just think in the long run the v8 swap will be cheaper. |

All that stuff you rhymed off to drop in the 360 already sounds like a lot of money. I don't know how much gas costs out where you live or how much driving you do, but the running cost of a 360 is likely to be a lot more than a 225. How fast do you really want to go and how often do you expect to need all that extra power? |

Fine, It is your car your money. Go for it. Just don't expect to get much help here. As you said "this is a slant six site". You will get more help at the links listed.PS: I pulled a 360 out of my Cuda and installed a 170 slant. It is now quicker, and gets more attention. |

Is the throttle linkage/cable/etc the same on your car as those the intended donors have? Is the existing rear up to the task? A different type of rear end would mean a different length driveshaft. Make sure your tires and brakes are in good shape. Shocks, too. |

Theres nothing wrong with pulling a slant for a V8, if thats what he wants. You can make more power for less money with the 360. However should you choose to go that way, you find little help here. |

ok, ok, ok. I have some things to think about here. I do like the simplicity of the slant and all the engine bay room. I dont know , i'll get back to ya. |

I do like slants that's why I still have one in my valiant ... however I am looking for a duster to put a 360 in it The guy who painted my car has a 360 powered duster runs mid 12's on motor and 10.01 is the best time with 2 stage nitrous a friend of mine who I bought a slant from ran best 15's swapped a 360 in and he running high 12's on motor.... slant's can go fast but I think a v8 can do it easier...... |

Yep, if your only goal is to go as fast as possible then yes, a V8 is the way to go, but where does it stop? A 360? 440" 426 Hemi, or perhaps one of the dozens of bored and stroked versions of any of the above? Anyone can stuff a big V8 or even a V10 into a chassis and make it go but where's the challenge? Oh well... different strokes for different folks I suppose. |
