440 swap

[Thelittlecutlassthatcould]

Howdy, so ive been toying with the idea of putting my chrysler 440 big block into my 87 cutlass supreme as i dont have anything else that i think it would fit into. So i was wondering if any of you guys know how it would fit in there, and what i would have to do to get it in there. Ive never done an engine swap before so i thought i would turn here before diving in

There is a least one other one out there, was in the Hot Rod Power Tour a few years back. Mounts and drive shaft will not doubt be custom and need some fabrication, trial and error.

Fast is fast. Just get the drive line angles correct.

You'd want to look at a pickup truck oil pan to move the sump to the rear

Yes, a rear sump truck pan will be needed.

Do it! As mentioned above it would take some fabrication to make it work.

Some of us would rather douse our cars with gas and light a match then go the LS route. Problem with Mopars is limited decent transmissions, especially the automatic overdrive versions.
