I've decided to forgo the effort of making my new engine mate up to the
old transmission and will instead fabricate a drive shaft from the end of
a new Trans (matching the new engine) to the existing transfer case.
(Which, by the way, is progressing well through the rebuild. Thanks to
everyone who's given advice and part sources on that!)
I have a 1986 Dodge 360 V8 with Automatic Trans and overdrive from a
wrecked police car. I know I'm going to have to get a flex fan and early
model water pump, but it looks like it will fit with a few inches to
spare.
Today I learned of a 1987 2.8 liter V6 with fuel injection and automatic
trans (w/ overdrive) from a Camaro that's been T-boned. This option
would fit easier and provide better mileage, but I'm worried it wouldn't
provide the torque needed for such a heavy vehicle and I'd ultimately
kill the clutch system in the automatic.
Does any one out there have advise on this? (Besides rebuild the
original engine. I apologize to the purists.)
Thanks!
