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

Tweet

yea i just helped my buddy build a 408 stroker for his dart, for relatively cheap, you just have to want to do the work. With some work from the machine shop and the stroker crank, he is putting out 450hp.

I had a 1973 Dodge Dart sport with a 340.Cam(purple Mopar cam),carb, the better heads,intake,headers,hotter purple spark box.I was on my 3th yr in heavy E.T. with it and had bought a 440 to put in it for the next yr.I got so in-tune with the car that I was in the top 4 at 2 tracks each time I raced.A guy walked up and took over the payments,paid for the mods,and I sold it.Soooooo for all the time and win money while I had it,the costs was super low.But still I think to build a Mopar over a Chevy,the Mopar parts costs more.


So I suggest you get the BB k-member and do a 440 swap.The 727 tranny will bolt up and make your mod easier.It's a proven swap that has been done.

Hey Skidds, I had a 455 with 6x heads and a 068 cam that had tons of torque and put a 3700# car through the 1/4 at 13.52. Not bad for a stock engine and small gear. It was basically a stock engine. But I do agree with you...Too much $$$ and they don't like to rev.
