I plan on converting my '67 Coronet wagon from a 318 auto to a 440 4-speed. What is needed to complete the motor swap? I know trans conversion will be a whole nother challenge. Do I need to swap K-members or is it as simple as motor mounts from Schumacher? I know I will need new accessories partly because the ones on the 318 are old and worn out and should be replaced anyway. Any tips, knowledge, or advice will be much appreciated.

 

I used the Schumacher kit to convert my 69. Got the kit with headers. You will need a bigger radiator.

 

other then that, any other things need to be changed?

 

starter, alt, are the same the mounting brackets will differ, all you gotta worry about is the trans, is the 440 a forged or cast crank?

 

Ignition harness is too short, due to the dizzy being in the rear of a small block, and in the front of a BB. Be SURE to get the matching shroud for the 26" radiator. If your motor comes with a water pump, be sure to get a radiator that matches the lower hose output side. If its not an issue, then try for a drivers side lower pump outlet and matching radiator. The passenger side outlets block the view of the timing marks/pointer and make life a bitch!

 

4 speed hump.... pedal linkage, ect ect...

 

not sure about the crank yet, im still shopping around

 

would it be a fairly straight-forward trans conversion or would it be a royal pain?
