hey all,

ive got a 1984 dodge ram w150 and am considering dropping a "ATK HP47C Chrysler 440" in it. does anyone have experience with this and know if the mounts will fit and how well it would link up with the transmission?

thanks

The 440 bigblock doesn't bolt up to the same trans as a 318/360 or slant6. Also need the 3/4ton booster to clear the wider engine.

Mounts should be easy. I landed a Cummins in place of a 318. Frame seems to be the same in that regard.

like U2slow said, you'd likely have to drop more $$$ to go big block. you could do the ATK 408 stroker which is a magnum small block. or if you do go whole hog, $10000 will also get you a 6.4 hemi crate.
