Saw this on locally on craigslist, How hard would it be to swap , eng, trans and rearend into a 68-70 B body. Would a 71-74 B body be easier?

It's a Hemi and 727. Should fit just about anything! It's not "stock" so most of the aftermarket doodads are universal (ignition, fuel lines, etc). The motor mounts are probably different. If you already have a 727 the old trans mount will work (can't remember if 904 is different). Exhaust would need some tweaking (I think there's a wheelbase difference and probably some floor pan shape differences). The radiator could likely fit. Maybe a change to the mounts. Maybe not. I believe the newer axle is wider but it doesn't say if it matches the stock width of a 72 B-body.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

That thing wins the "Sleeper of the Year" award.

I'd leave it in the Coronet. No one would ever see that coming.

I'll have $20,000 in my 472 before it ever gets bolted into the car.

I agree take that hood scoop off and you'll have the ultimate SLEEPER. :2thumbs:

Wow, listed 4 days ago and still available?  Buy first and ask questions later!

I asked because it seems like between the engine, tranny and rear-end it was worth close to $20K
