Testing the waters of going 318 to 383 in my '67 Fury III.
Trying to plan things I wouldn't think about. What are some things I would need to change or headaches that would arise?
I would need:
Big block 727
Different transmission mount
New motor mounts
Trans kickdown linkage
Throttle linkage/cable
Tranmission cooler lines
The radiator, I need to look at the bottom outlets.
Is the driveshaft the same from the 318 727 to the 383 727?
Can the same torsion bars be used?
I need to look at my FSM when I get home but I can't remember if the 383's used 5 leafs or 6. That would stink if they used 6 because I just ordered new set of 5's thinking I would use my current 318.
I am using Kahn's thread titled 318->383 swap as well.
Thanks for the help.
