Hi all check out what i bought.

Absolutely sweet Newport, man! Welcome from a fellow new member, and Newport owner!

Bingo.
I hope not too much was chopped swapping over to a SB.
Maybe dun-rite using a Polara sub-frame?

All of the V8 sub and K-frames were the same for the small block and big block through '72 for the B-bodies and '73 for the C-bodies.

When they changed to the newer style engine mounts they moved the perches rearward farther for the big blocks.

Congrats! Sweet looking Ride!

All of the V8 sub and K-frames were the same for the small block and big block through... '73 for the C-bodies.

So, if I pull a 318/360 out of a '73 and earlier C-body, a big block with its stock BB motor mounts drop right onto the subframe (that previously held a small block) and bolt right in. No torching, no welding. Mounts only. And stock mounts at that. No "adapter" mounts.
Have I got that right?

HUMMmmmmmm..... Sounds like a setup.....:eusa_think:

Yep.........
I dare you to commit to that statement.

Unless I am missing a trick question in there I say, thats an accurate statement

I'll wait for Will....

 

[polara71]

Go ahead, I have said this plenty of times and no one believes me, yet I have done it.

 

[commando1]

I wouldn't trust you to tell me which end is the clean one on a piece of ****.

 

[polara71]

Then I guess you trust no one! A more honest person you'll NEVER find!!

You didnt believe me when I said this was the way it is a year ago, you didnt trust me six months ago , when the blues mobile forums said it didnt work this way and you still dont believe me today....... When was the last time you did an engine swap in a Fuselage C body? When do you plan on doing one?

 

[commando1]

I'm just leaving absolutely nothing to chance when I do. That's all.
I go into the operation prepared.

 

[polara71]

But you're not doing it and never will ..

 

[commando1]

Never did. Odds are in your favor that I never will. I just need to know absolutely 100%. I'm a trivia junkie.

 

[polara71]

I have been telling you for the last year, today you need to know

 

[commando1]

OK. A BB drops right into where a SB used to be in a Fusie. Easy as pie. No mods.
OK????

I'm checking with Rick Ehrenberg, first.

 

[polara71]

He'll have no idea

 

[commando1]

I'll go along with what you say in the meantime. I don't forsee any SB Fusies in my life until the next time I talk to him, anyway.
