1980 MIRADA

[FLY 9999]

Looking at a /6 powered Mirada. Want to do a 440 swap. Any standard Dana 60 that is a direct bolt in? Thanks

F/M/J body axle width is very close to A body.

...but F/M/J has a much more generous wheel well, allowing you to get away with a wider one.

I'd say a 68-70 B body would probably work.

I really don't know if they put Dana's in 66/67 cars, but that would be closer.

I have always liked the Miradas and Magnums of the late 70's.

Yes. I did a 8 3/4 in a F body 70 B body using the B body shock plates. You may have to come up with shocks.
Can't remember but a Mirada may have the stud top and bottom shock. If so you can use the Mirada shock plate with some work removing the rubber inserts and welding washers in the hole to locate the spring center pin.
At one time Schumacher had engine mounts for big block in the F/M/J bodies. According to the old catalog the mounts are for the 73 up spool K frame and says 73 up A/B/F/M/J slant 6 to B/RB.

Mopar was actually too early with the J body.

They ran 80-83.

...but look like an '86-90 regal/monte carlo/gran prix
