If your fever & other symptoms continue, please seek medical help?

I doubt anyone's crazy enough to do that swap: less power & more problems...

I do not think that would be a good thing to do or attempt. How many small block Chrysler were built and still being built. People would rather swap a Gen 3 Hemi with wiring harness and all other parts to make it run like a new vehicle. But I know of a few that have swapped an SRT4 Turbo into a Fox Body Mustang making it a rear wheel drive. None of these Brand X changes I would do.

Maybe I'm mistaken and remembering this wrong, but wasn't there someone here with a Dart with a paint scheme sort of like a P 51 Mustang that had a Ford motor?

Seems plausible if you had a nicely worked up one already w/trans. And if you were replacing a worn/beaten 318, 6-cyl, or a smog 360.
Would love to see the looks on the Mopar Crazys faces at a show

Mount it on a plate. The biggest issue is probably the oil pan with the steering linkage. May need a tube thru the pan? The K frame is easy to cut . Custom headers. Maybe late 5.7 Hemi headers with the flanges cut and reworked?

i disagree with the neg comments about this swap.
doing this swap is what old time hot rodding is all about.
making what you have fast with what you have available to you. i say GO FOR IT.
after saying that, it won't be a easy swap and you won't get much help doing it. so be prepared before you start.

This is where some 3D modeling software would really tell the story.
If someone develops engines models, it would be easy to “drop it in” and see where the issues are.

Lol

It's called a tape measure and it's already done.

The 351w is 1/2" wider, 4" shorter and essentially the same height.

Exactly up I would round out the swap with a 9" Ford type rear with ZERO factory parts used and then you would have a bulletproof drive train with that G-force box and the track proven stroker Ford engine. Wrap all that up in a Duster with a 4-link and you have a very nice consistent drag car.

Go for it man drive

Mopars in Vzla use to get their K member and suspension replaced by the GM half chassis and suspension system ( Novas and Caprice ). I also have seen Ford axles and 350 engines on them... so yes, it can be worst.

I’d probably chose to just make life easier for myself.

If I “had” to use that motor, I’d find a Ford product to put it in.

There are several Ford bodies I like well enough to use.
