Do you know of Magnum Force Race Car Fabrication? I know Ron Jenkins (The Owner) pretty well and the last time I was there, he had about 5 thick wall 440 blocks and a couple of 383 blocks, i think they were magnafluxed too but i am not sure. give him a call if he doesn't have one (which i doubt) he'll know where to get one. his number is 408-559-6633. he is over on white oaks he'll give you directions. care to share about this project? I am planning on Doing a 440 powered 1965 Dodge Dart station wagon i am getting hella cheap, make it my cruisin mobile, slammed, Dubs, it'll be sic.

440 in a Dart/Valiant would be sick! Don't know about the weight of the big block though. You'd have to beef up the front suspension.

Good luck with it.

thats whats good about most mopars, not sure of the earlier ones but the later 60's 70's ones all ya have to do is crank up the torsion bars and your set, and maybe some better shocks while your at it.

no just cranking the adjusting bolt won't do it, you will need to get 440 or 383 Torsion bars to handle that weight out of a GTS car. their only like $20 from PST if you want em new.

Just make sure your tranny, u-joints, and axle can handle it. It'd suck to go to the trouble of putting that engine in only to break a tranny or ring gears the 1st time you get on it.
