Thread: Can you put a Chevy Engine in a Dodge Dart?

Tweet

You COULD do it, but why?
I have seen a '64 Plymouth Fury with a SBC and a Mustang II front end.!!! Also saw an article in a magazine about a '64 Mustang with a Flathead in it. A local drag racer has a Challenger with BBC crate engine. He saved about 5000 bux by getting a Chevy crate engine over a Hemi.

If it makes you happy and you're willing to go through the effort I say more power to ya!

LOL Barb

no we are not the only ones. but we are usually right

As a good friend once told me "With a torch , welder, and a BFH" you can put anything into anything. Just be aware of all of the obstacles you will encounter from motor mounts to u joints.
I still have 400sbc I plan to put in a 66 Mustang some day.
