I have a 63 valiant with a 170. By cast #"s it is a 1965 engine with a 4 speed trans. I also have a 1970 225 out of a 1 1/2 ton truck, it was a 4 speed also. I want to pull the 170 and replace it with the 225, By cast #'s the 225 is listed 68-70 Any issues i need to be fore warned about. Thanks Nick |

You'll need to swap the oil pan and pickup. You'll also need a '68+ car flywheel as the newer 225 has a larger flywheel centering ring on the crankshaft than the 170. Also, the exhaust pipe will be a little short and won't reach the exhaust manifold in it's new, higher location. |
