Anyone done one and put it into one of those bodies? Looking for floor mods that have to be done with pics.

in the tech archives...NOT the one at the top right of the web page. The one from the main index.

What year b-body? I just did an A518 in my 78 Fury, and there were NO floor modifications necessary.

There were no floor mods needed when I put one in my D100. The only mod I needed was the trans mount crosmember got customized.

And yes, the JW housing need the start hole for the nose fitted up before install....Ask me how I know. They should have fixed that after they had them out for a month or two. I know I called them on it.

a friend of mine put an EFI 5.2 magnum and A500 in a 72 Dart last summer.
He had to cut most of the upper crossmember out of it. Then re-inforced it with a 1/4" steel plate.

I know he modified the lower crossmember, but I don't think it was that much

71 up B and all E body can be done by trimming the trans if needed.

I am pretty sure 70 and older B bodies are the same since the E body was built off the B body chasis.

A bodies need mods to the floor pan.
