Small block to big block question

[68rrdream]

I already read a sticky here telling most of the swap. I currently have 318/727 in a 67 belvedere.

While searching for parts to play with the 318 I found a good used 383/727 out of a 68 charger.

I know I need the mounts, extend dist wiring, radiator, etc.

What about suspension? Will I need to change torsion bars?

Will I need a driveshaft?

No and no.

Most 318's got 904 transmissions... If it's really a 727 the driveshaft will work... But the transmission won't... Torsion bars will work but bigger is better...

Well it has the big hump on the passanger side of the pan so from what I've seen that is a 727. I also read somewhere that the 66-67 b bodies all came 727.

For Radiator look at ECP... I got mine from them and it has been money well spent which is not something i say often

22" Mopar BIG BLOCK HD Aluminum Radiator

For your classic Mopar, our new 22″ wide core radiator is the perfect combination of modern cooling technology and classic styling. It’s made with die formed tanks that closely match the original Mopar design. It has the correct notches for the fitment for steering arm and frame to fit directly...

(just guessing that you have a 22" opening)

You could also check out Champion Radiators, I have one in my '70 Charger (383 Magnum); they're quite a bit more affordable. A little over $200 USD. If you're not concerned about an OEM look, that is.
