HI

I have swapped many a slant six OUT of early 60s polara/ satellite and now my son is tring to swap one back (Old poly 318 car 1964 satellite.) for me .........we have 225 engine out of early eighties truck.......any hints suggestions parts sources would be greatly greatly welcomed.... any info at all ....his first time and I am not able to help any longer (health problems) thanks a bunch

Welcome to the board.

If I am reading correctly, you are trying to put a Slant into where the 318 came out of?

Basics you will need are the motor mounts and oil pan/pickup for that chassis, a compatible trans for that chassis or a shifter for the trans you have, (original was a push button, right?), driveshaft to match your trans/rear, and an exhaust system. If you try to mate the late motor to an early PB trans you will also need a crank spacer from www.wildcatmopars.com .

Sounds like a fun project.

I think you will find this page of links helpful: http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/restore2003.html

Also take a look around on the rest of that site, as you should be able to find more information specific to your car.

I am replying here, to a PM about mounts. If I am wrong, someone please correct me. This conversion could be a problem, if you are trying to use "factory" parts, everything is different. These are factory part numbers, for the 64-65 "B" body.
"K" member , six cyl 2204199, V-8 2401057.
Engine brackets, six cyl 2264679 & 2264678, V-8 2402185 (2)
Insulators, six cyl 2264675 & 2264674, V-8 2402183 & 2402182

This info was taken from the Direct Connection Chassis modification manual, # P4286520 dated 1982.

So to do this swap, without a "donor" car. It would be easier to
fabricate the mounts.

Let see,
post 62 B body 318 auto car (assuming it is a auto trans)
swap a 225 in?

1- the 225 will not bolt to the 318 auto without a spacer used in
the trucks in those years, spacer makes up the differance between
the v8 bell and the \6 bolt pattern since the trucks all used the
A727-A behind the \6 (no cars ever used this system, trucks only).
Only other option here is to use a \6 904 swaping out the v8
trans.

2- crank bolt patterns are differant 6 to 8, so the flex plate will
need to be changed.

3- the tork converter changed to the \6
type since the center for the converter is differant (smaller
than the v8 converter) were it fits in to the crank.

4-engine mount issues, as above, to the K frame
