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. 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!

 

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

 

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

 

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.


In the hole for the first time.


The whole car in all of its large glory.

 

cool project, I'm in to see!

 

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.
