Engine / tranny info.
Howdy Mopar folks. I'm leaning toward a Mopar when I sell my car. What I want, I know I can't afford ( how many million? ). What I'd like, I doubt I can afford either. So what I'm thinking is buy something with no motor / tranny & put one in. Here's kinda what I'm thinking. I'd like to find a Duster / Demon, Aspen / Volare, Dart / Valiant type body style & put a 360 w/ overdrive in it. I had a '94 Ram 1500 I bought new off the lot like that & was pleased with it. I want to go carbed & don't know what all I'd be looking at. I know they made this body style with the small blocks, so I'm sure the engine would fit fine. What I don't know about is what about the tranny. Is it like the FORD E4OD where I would have to have a computer to tell it when to shift ( lock up converter? ), etc. To be clear, I don't have anything yet, I'm just looking for ideas & advice. I figure if it's a Mopar question, this is the place to ask it. Not that good at all this, looking for something simple / cheap. One reason I want to go carb instead of fuel injected. Please be gentle, I'm a FORD fan experimenting with the dark side & possibly on my way to being converted ( or at least part way ).

nice to hear you wanting a mopar! What are your plans? Is this going to be a daily driver,cruiser? I would first check your state's vehicle equipment/emission laws to see what is allowed.I think a pre 1985 car would be the way to go with a 904 tranny (no computer)!
