Hi everyone. 65 Coronet and all Mopars!

[65coronetbuild]

New to FBBO. From Western PA. I’m swapping a 440 in place of a 318 poly. Been 30 years since I’ve done a motor swap… but now I have the time to do it. Looking forward to researching the forums for ideas and tips.
Talk soon!

Welcome from a fellow 65 owner on the west coast. My car was a poly originally till my friend put a 440 in it back in the late 70's, early 80's. Indy engine for it now.

Welcome from Missouri!! My car started life looking identical to yours, except it was a 361. Nothing about my car is original anymore, that can be good or bad. Good Luck!

Thank you! Runs great too. Leaves a little bit oil and trans fluid everywhere I drive it... like a gift!

Do you have any pictures of the engine bay from the 440 days? Im curious on how its going to fit - that 318 poly is wide but I don't think as wide as a 440.
