Hi I'm new here and I'm working on build a 74 scamp. Any help would be great full. I am a painter so the mechanics part is going to be the hardest on what to put in for the rear end and motor.

 

Welcome to the forum. We like pictures. What drive train is in the Scamp now?

 

Welcome!

You've come to the right place for help!

 

Welcome , my first mopar was a 69 Valiant and I went with a 440, 727 trans and 8.75 rear. Fun car!

 

Welcome.

 

It has the slant 6 not sure on the rear end all stock with 46k.

 

I have some rear ends laying around but don't know if they would work with out doing a lot of custom work. The one is a 8.8 out of a merc the other is a ford 9. I I wanted disc breaks and the 8.8 has them. Also how would I go about putting discs on the front .

 

Welcome.... You have a 1974 and it didnt come with disc brakes up front????????....WOW
Rearend might be 7.5 Dia Ring gear....???
Stock 6 go real good with a Turbo set up... ....

 

Yeah I thought it was weird that it didn't have disc in the front.

I found out it has the 7.25 some I'm looking for a 8.25 to put in.

 

Well what are you looking to do for the motor? If you're going to upgrade it at a later point, it might be worth looking for an 8 3/4 rear.
