Hi,
Should I'll be worried about this swap, 426 Hemi in a 65 b-body.
What I have:
-Inverted passenger shock tower
-V8 K-member
-Schumascher Hemi engine swap motor mounts
-TTI 62-65 b-body hemi 2 1/8" headers
-Milodon Oilpan 31010
-Flexible engine oil-stick and trans oil-stick
-65 crossram magnesium intake/dual hollys with velocity stacks
-Reinforcement in hood cut with the oval hole in the hood (adapter plate)
-Later 66 and up 727 with schumascher trans swap mount 62-65 trans member (drive shaft and everything is in order/correct lenght)
-Manual valve body
-TTi 3" H-pipe exhaust
-Subframe connectors and stronger trans/rear axel/suspension

Could I get any problem installing the hemi?

Cheers!

Never use this brake master cylinder if you drive it!

I understand, the reason for that I assume is the one line braking system?

Hope i'm not jinxing my self here, but I drive my 64 all the time with that setup and it works pretty well for what it is. Everything is new in my system.

If it's in proper order it will do ok.

Didn't see anything about your radiator... what are you running?


very clever dinner. appetizing food fit neatly into interesting round pie.

Thanks for the response. I probably forgot to mention all sort of stuff like the 8-bolt flexplate and more and more anyway...
I run an old OEM radiator (correct inlet and outlet) its redone and have 3 rows.

Did you invert or make and work on the shock tower?
