Default 1976 dart slant six to HEMI

I am thinking of of a slant six to a 5.7 HEMI swap. Any suggestions on the best route?

The 5.7 conversions into older muscle are becoming pretty common so you should be able to find a number of sources via Mopar magazines and online searches. Heck, there may be someone on this forum who has already done one too?

Schmacher's (www.engine-swaps.com) may have the motor mounts you'll need. The tranny tunnel is a challeng from what I've read and they do have wiring harnesses to adapt to your old A body. You'll need to beef up the rear end, I'd do an 8 3/4 unit as well as some additional frame supports.

The final product should be really cool though...

Good luck!
