Hi guys. Newbie here. My son has a 65 barracuda with a tired 273 3speed in it. We want to swap a later model engine into it and have found a 318 out of a 98 truck with a 5 speed. Anyone got any idea how hard this would be? We want to use the electronic fuel injection, ECM and transmission and possibly the clutch from the truck. My main concerns are of course the ECM and the clutch. Is the clutch hydraulic? ANy sugestions on what else we should look for? Thanx from a newbie.
