Ok spend the better part of Thursday 4-14-05 pulling the beat down 4 banger and dropping in the freshly built 400 sits in there just about right .... going to have to sort of flatten out the oilpan a bit ... BUT I wasn't willing to pay $260 for an oilpan made for this swap ! .. that aside the hardest part is out of the way now ..... 4banger is OUT and 400 is IN along with a built 727 trannie got snaps coming in about 2 or so days of the engine sitting in it's new home. That monster dropped the front end about a good 3 inches once it was seated.. Now comes the fun part .... getting the wiring up and running ! wish me luck cause it's all on hold till next Thursday if the weather is good that is
