Want to swap six to V8

Steve Weeks · 10-27-2007

Looking for advice/info on swapping out a 300 six to 289/302 in 66 coupe. Know about the 4 lug wheels, front springs, etc. More interested in details of engine swap. Will the existing C4 bolt up? Need to change torque converter? Do V8 mtr mounts bolt up to chassis?
Expect to change throttle linkage, fuel lines, wiring etc. Not concerned with small stuff. Appreciate any feedback.

You'll need a V8 bell and convertor if you want to use the C4. You may need a set of V8 frame mounts, but it's been so long since I've thought about an I6 swap I forget. You'll need a new radiator of course.

BTW take that M&F article with a grain of salt, the info is usually off and they like to plug their supporting vendors shamelessly and call it tech.
