1967 Chrysler Imperial w/6BT
 

Well I stared a project I had been thinking about for a few years now. I have a 1967 Chrysler Imperial that had a 440 gas engine in it and just picked up a 92 6BT to put in it.:jump: I got the engine and trans from a wrecked 92 Dodge truck and heard it run before I bought it from a friend. I plan on turning up the pump up a little and then that will be it for a while. It looks like it should just drop in with a few mods to the car so I plan on having it move under its own power in about a month. I got alot of info from this site and figured some people might be interested in this as I dont think a big car like this has been done before. I will post pics tomorrow.

Sounds cool, keep us in the loop with info and pics! :c:

ya i would love to see a pic i dont know what a 1967 chrysler imperial looks like :humm:

Its big, real big. About 21ft long and titled at 4850 lbs. It is almost as big as the truck the engine came out of.

Sounds like an intersting project i have never seen one in any thing but demo derby condition:ouch:

Yeah they see alot of derbys which is sad and making them more and more rare. They are illegal to run around here because they are so tough. I have got the engine in the car to see what I will have to change and move. So far all I have to do is drop the center of the K member and make new motor mounts and the front will be in. A new trans mount/torsion bar mount needs to be made too but thats easy. I will have to tweak the oil pan to clear the steering drag link but it still isn't a big deal. The power steering lines hook right up so thats good. Does anyone know how to delete the a/c pump bracket? Is there a new water neck I can get off an industrial engine or do I just need to make my own? Here are a few pics I have taken along the way. More to come later.

This is the truck the engine came from. It started right up.

cool project, I'm in to see!:tu:

Awesome!!!!

I just cut the bottom portion off my a/c bracket to delete. I don't know about the water neck i used flexable metal hose from summit racing to make all the goofy bends for my coolant system. I did have problems with the serp belt length though. A stock non a/c belt was to short idk wat the problem was. The length i ended getten was 66 1/2 mm but it was still a little short but worked

Thats cool. I will probably just end up doing that too. I might put another idler pully on it to try and use the same belt but I will worry about that later. Tomorrow I attack the crossmember with a torch.:bat:
