1964 A100 window van. Just because it has spark plug tubes doesn't mean it's a Hemi.

Are those passenger car headers? Tube size?

When I saw that you had to notch the rails I just figured maybe they were some kind of big tube passenger car header.

I got the accessories bolted on, driveshaft in, carb and kick down cables on, fuel lines, plug wires, gauges hooked up.
Also removed remainder of 6 cyl exhaust system. Oh, also the booster and master cyl, bled brakes
Tomorrow it's wiring, belts, hoses, and the rest of the odds and ends to make it go, then to the exhaust shop on Monday.
I want to be able to hear whats going on doing the cam break in.
Pics tomorrow night!

Thanks guys!
I am doing this swap at the shop where I work.
Got out there at about 9:00 this morning, moved the truck in, just as I opened the hood a truck driver came in with a water pump out on his truck.
I am on call this weekend, so guess how I spent my day?
Putting a water pump on a c 15 caterpillar engine. Then I did repairs on a trailer light box damaged from a tire blow out.
Oh well, I will keep plugging along on it this week before and after work.

Quick update:
Scored a complete 2 1/2" exhaust at a local salvage from a 82 that obviously not been in truck long. Has flowmasters. Still have to hang the tailpipes. Couldnt pass it up for 75 bucks.
Also made air shrouding up from truck mudflap cutoffs.
Very little left to be able to fire it up tomorrow.
More pics to follow..
O.G.

Fyi golden arm, the truck sits 1/2" lower in the front with no suspension changes. 3rd /6 to B or RB swap I have done with about the same drop on all 3.

It's alive!
Still have some tidying up to do, but sounds and runs great!
Second pic is to show air cleaner nut I made using a 2012 Dart Mopar fender emblem. I cut out a piece of 3/16 x 1 strap, angled the ends to match, tacked a 1/4 20 nut to it and adhered the emblem to it. Took about 15 minutes to do.
Tomorrow I am going to tie up all the loose ends, and give the whole truck a good cleaning.
I am verry happy!

Hi, what rear axle and gears are you running? Will it handle that kind of power? Will you be able to keep the tires under it?

Dakotaman, the rear that is under it is geared 3.23, is the stock rear that came in a /6 truck.
I have a 8 3/4 with 3.91s and a sure grip going under it very soon. We will soon see if it lasts till I swap rearends, haha!
