72 scamp rear - 05/29/16 04:26 PM
Hello all ! Glad to know moparts is still here and doing quite well ! I have a question im hoping someone might know . Ive decided to build that old scamp body ive had behind the shop so i sent it off to a good freind to have it preped and sprayed i still have my old van motor that ill refresh and drop in it its a stout little 318 thats supposed to male about 400 horsepower acording to the build i copied ( sure we've all read the 318 cheap as dirt build right?) And i think i want to mate it to a 904 to take advantage of that quicker first gear thereay or may not be a trans brake involved havent decided how balls out i wann go yet question is the car is a 2 door factory small block (318 by build tag but last owner had a 360 in it ) and factory manual so i wondersd what rear is it supposed to have and would ot be any good to keep bavk there with this plan ? Last owner sayed he drove ot like it was stolen with a 360 and wasnt gentle with it so i figure ot would be ok for a little while but i dont wanna snap off a yoke the first time out either .any thoughts or expertise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
