Parts required to swap from small block to 385 in a Superformance
The title pretty much sums it up. I would like to start getting a list together for a future project. Currently I have dart block 427W with TKO600 and was wondering what is required for a swap. I have not gotten far enough on the motor but it would be a stroked 385 block. I'm thinking selling my current drive train may be the best solution as it now runs great and it is more power than most cobra owners would want anyway. Thanks for the assistance and please add to the list what I may be not thinking about. FYI I don't track the car and I don't live in the mountains. I enjoy the nice 2 lane back road cruising and pure acceleration where it feels like your going to get sucked out of the seat.
*New engine and tranny mounts
*Bellhousing
*Current TKO-600 will not be up to the job so I figure you need an appropriately built TKO-600 for the power level
*Clutch
*Headers
*Flywheel
*I'm sure there are some coolant hoses ect. that would need to come from SPF
*Was considering what would need to be done to the hood but I came across an article by "Craigs Cobra" where Craig had a victor intake on a 385 big block and managed to build a drop base filter that all fit under the stock hood.
