newb here.. magnum swap into my 340 duster??
Hey whats up everyone, you guys have a kickass forum going here. This may seem pretty simple to most but my mechanical skills and knowledge are slowly growing and I've never done engine swaps and stuff before.
I have a numbers matching 70 340 duster that i want to get the original motor out of before i blow it up or something. The car is a street driven car that i like to drive to the track and bracket race occasionally. I am looking at the 375 hp stroker crate motor that blueprint engines offers, and I believe it is based off of a 360 magnum motor.
My question is, will this be a straightforward swap? From what i have read so far the blocks are supposed to be indentical on the outside. Will my 727 bolt right up to it? Motor mounts the same? Any other issues I might run into?
And just for the hell of it, anyone out there from Las vegas that has all the tools required for the job? hahaha!
Thanks in advance for your info everyone.
Alan
