69 Dart Engine Swap

Hey guys,

I,m replacing my slant 6 for a V8, and I found a 73 Coronet with a 318 as a donor car for $500.
What else would I be able to use from the coronet, besides the engine, tranny and radiator? What about rear end? Front discs? Anything else?

TKS

I don't even think you can use the trans, the A-body uses a short tailshaft trans.

Why do you want to pull the 6 out? You will need to find a short tailshaft 727 and you may be able to use the rear end, you'll just have to move the perches probably. I would take some measurments first though.

It'll work. You just have to get the driveline made/cut to specific length.


Other then engine and tranny, nothing. I'm pretty sure
