I have bought a 77 Rv with a 440 in it. I am getting ready to pull the motor out and swap to my 66 Charger.... 318 car. Does anyone happen to have a how to or a list of things I have to change.... Just checking before I get started.
 
Oil pan & pickup, exhaust manifolds come to mind.
 
What I can think of are: "adapter" style motor mounts, transmission, likely the rear end (unless you already have an 8-3/4"), "possibly" front torsion bars for the added weight, "possibly" throttle cable & a reasonable chance you'll need some accessory brackets and/or a different alternator to match up with your 66 Charger electrical system (not sure), either a "point type" 440 distributor or an electronic ignition conversion on your 66 Charger and likely a larger radiator/clutch fan/fan shroud
