72 charger engine swap

[360gremlin]

I want to swap from a 318 to a 400. What engine brackets do I need? I have a donor car for most. OTHER PARTS I SHOULD NEED. THANKS FOR HELP.

For brackets, you only need big block motor mount brackets and any brackets needed for accessories. You will probably need a different radiator, both for increased cooling capacity and to have radiator hoses in the right locations. You will also need a transmission with a big block bolt pattern on the bell housing. If you are using an automatic and switching from a 904 to a 727 transmission, you will also need to shorten the drive shaft since the 727 has a longer tail shaft.

That should cover the basics.

You'll also need to have have some work done to your exhaust system to get everything to mate up and you'll also likely need a new driveshaft.

thanks to all

thanks for the replies. site is hard to navigate on mobile is why i waited to respond. I dont suppose big block truck engine mount brackets will do for the B body swap. I have a pair of them already.

Truck mounts won't work. Need ones from 66-72B, 70-1E and 66-72C
