Hmmm.. Does make me think I am running a little on the rich side.
I drive like a woosie and get ~14 from the Charger.

Having said that, I've never tuned it or anything. Will look into it when the engine is out over thewinter.

You guys on 20mpg thats awesome. I had an RX8 for a while and that struggled to get 20 !

Maybe mines not so bad !!!!again depending on distance or local these figures can differ...

hmm.. maybe... I am tempted...
Although I reckon you need to keep that for when you blow the pit sky-high on drugs during your new 1/4 mile addiction...

You also need to change the prop and yokes as the 318 cars use tiny yokes/uj's in comparison.

Well that's what I found on my car anyway, mind you I'm not sure whether mine was originally a 727 trans or the 906 so could just have been that on my one.

Oh yeah. I forgot you need a shorter propshaft.

Mine has a 727 box anyway and I have an invoice for a shortened propshaft in the documentation. Assume a 727 on a SB is compatible with a BB ?

Its all pie-in-the-sky anyhow, but its good to know whats involved should I ever want to...

That's how it starts.... Then before you know it, you've got a BB and Trans sat in the garage, parts turning up all over the place and a wallet so light, it might as well be filled with helium!

Not exactly. Small blocks have a different bolt pattern. So they have a different bellhousing. Usually it is best to build the trans to hemi spec anyway.

Oooh.... Hemi....... hmmmm.....

Morgan, Schumacher make the swap over engine mounts and nearly all the bits you'll need. http://engine-swaps.com/frames/frame_Gateway.html

My Cuda does around 4-6 MPG in town and 8 on a run, it will make a difference in more ways than one

Pete only marinally beaten by Mr Armstrong ....

Has anyone done a SB to BB conversion using these mounts ? Pardon my green-ness but this would mean no need to try find a K-frame for the car yes ?
The time is upon us...!
