Guest Anonymous Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 I have been watching this site for a while and I noticed that no one was talking about a Mopar swap. Has anyone either done or considerd this swap? The 727 transmisin would fit in there fine and it is used on both the 426 and 440 but will also bolt up to things like the 318, 340, and 360. They have a rear oil sump and there a lot of HP parts out there for these motors. Any insight into to this oversight wanted.

pparaska Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 This came up a week or two ago. I think in the Chevy Forum? Use the search engine and look for Mopar. Sounds great to me! I'd want a 340 as a first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 A 360 shortblock with a set of 340 2.02 heads is a killer motor. It would take a stout 383 to match it. Can you imagine popping a Z hood and seeing one with a 6-pack? ------------------ Scottie 71 240GN-Z Scottie's GNZ [This message has been edited by Scottie-GNZ (edited March 15, 2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 We all have varied experiences, but the 383 magnum comes to mind for me. I know it is a wide motor, and somewhat heavy, but gobs of power can be had easily. And that 727 tranny is about as bullit proof as a transmission can be.

Andrew Bayley Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 There is actually a guy somewhere around here that drag races a 240Z with a 440 motor. Run's low 9's and is pretty much a low dollar car (less than 10K total investment, very ncie and clean car). I'm a SBC fan 'till the end, but I can't argue with those numbers. Also, my friend Jer has a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with a 360 and 727 that will actually walk my Impala SS. Well, it used to walk me... before I added the spray Ragardless of who made what... If it's fast, it's all right with me!!! -Andy ------------------ "But I don't sit idly by, I'm planning a big surprise."
