Thread: Can you put a Chevy Engine in a Dodge Dart?

Tweet

you can pretty much stuff any motor in any vehicle if you work hard enough at it. That said, I think it would be a sin to put a chevy motor into a mopar and that's coming from the guy that stuffed a chevy in his pontiac. But that's just my opinion...

I get no end of crap from the pontiac guys. I like to shut them up by beating them on the strip.... "my 439 10.8:1 chevy makes more power than your 13:1 468 and I paid half as much to build it?" Or... "you've blown up that 468 three times in two years and I'm still faster?" :-D

I don't know how hard it is to swap a chevy into a mopar but you will need a special oil pan to fit the k member if I remember correctly.

two cents,

I remember an article in some magazine years ago where they put a sbc in a Valiant, and those engine compartments are smaller than most Darts. Yep, the K member might be an issue panwise.

Just out of curiosity, why are you considering this swap anyway, vs using a Mopar motor?
