I've done plenty of research and I'm continuing to do research. In fact, that is why I am here searching for people who have done similar swaps. While I appreciate what you've shared I have many more questions that your post could not and did not answer, primarily the questions regarding...

Do you have anything useful to contribute?

Thank you so much. This is the sort of information that I was looking for. What did you use for headers and an oil pan? And do you have any photos?

Thank you for the lead, I'll check into that.

Holley has a video where they run through a 6.4 HEMI swap with an 8HP in a 66 Charger. It is pretty slick, but space is tight everywhere. Exact placement of the engine in the engine compartment is critical for everything else to line up and work, but they make everything for the swap. Oil pan...

I wish this thing was a 66 and up. I could have had the swap done in less time than I've spent researching the swap for an earlier B body. LOL

I did. It didn't answer many of my questions. Automatic transmission clearances especially, but other questions as well.

I suspect you're right. If the early tunnel is any smaller than the later B body tunnel then there will be an issue. Just hoping to find someone who has actually done this swap, so that I can pick their brain.

It is larger than the 727 currently in the car. The 8HP70 fits in the 66 and up B bodies with a little minor trimming to some of the bosses on the transmission case (nothing structural). Only minor trimming of the floor brace above the transmission tail housing is necessary. I'd like know...

I'm worried about trans tunnel clearance. It is a beautiful car with a finished interior. Really don't want to start cutting the floor up and building a new tunnel. Holley makes headers, motors mounts, trans mounts and even a full exhaust that all fits very well in the later B bodies. It...

Love the Orwell quote... I'm aware of all of the advantages of this swap. Do you happen to have any personal experience with a conversion of this nature in an early (65 and older) B-body?

Because the owner of the car wants it, that's why. Now, do you have anything helpful to add to the conversation? Anything on topic perhaps?

I have found information on this trans fitting in the 66 and later B body, but nothing about the 65 and earlier cars. It is a tight fit but I know that it can fit in the later cars by doing some light trimming to some ears on the transmission case, but how different are the floors on the earlier...

THANK YOU!

I copied and pasted "late model Hemi into early b body" and the only things coming up are the dozen or so times you pointed someone to your post, but the post itself is not coming up. Could you possibly share a link?

I searched using those exact words and got zero results. I don't understand these search functions on some of these forums.

I did exactly that and got a million completely unrelated posts. But thank you for the heads up. I'll look for your post specifically.

All very good advice. We actually do own and operate a well equipped hot rod shop outside of Detroit. We've done a lot of late model swaps in all sorts of classic vehicles, but this is our first Gen 3 HEMI in an early B body. I'm quite familiar with what needs to be done in a later 66-72 B body...

My eyes ARE bleeding and my back sore from sitting in front of this screen. I haven't found any useful information (on the early B bodies) yet.

Hello everyone. I have been searching off and on for several weeks trying to find any information that I can on swapping a GEN 3 HEMI into a 63 Belvedere. Holley and several other companies make pretty much everything for this swap on a 66 and newer B body, but absolutely nothing is listed for...
