Default Putting 440 Mopar in 70 Dart

Hey Im a college student with a 70 Dodge Dart and im planning on putting a 440 mopar with a torque flite tranny to replace my slant six. Just wondering if anyone could give me any tips and also how to set up a magnaflow exhaust system with dual exhaust. been search magnaflows website but couldn't find anything so im thinkin im going to have to special order it possibly. Any feed back i can get would be great

I know this is a little late but I just recently joined this fourm, I will try to help, with my limited knowledge... To do it rite you need to find a big block K frame for an A body ( rare..) and pricey! But with a cutting torch and a welder you can make it work with what you have. TTI makes excellent headers and exhaust for A bodys, trans croosmember and mount has to be relocated. You need a bb radiator, I cant remember exactly but I think you have to move the master cylinder over or use a smaller dia. brake booster. Mopar perf. direct conn. what ever they are calling it these days has those. I assume its an automatic car? you need a bb 727 trans. You can get on the web. and search back issues of the mopar mags. and find a lot of information. Then thers the rear end you need at least an 8 3/4 rear. This isnt a cheap swap But like most things with enough money it can be done. It would be easier to swap a small block.
