I took a 383 from a 1967 Newport and put it in a 1969 Road Runner that had a 318. I purchased the mounts and used a 727 trans. Great engine, lots of power, I didn't enjoy how much it cost to feed it. Plenty of after market toys available and it bolted right up. I almost put it in a Trail Duster, it would have fit without any modification, The only problem I had was the exhaust. I had to get headers made and they wrapped around the starter and they went down the side of the block. That made changing out the starter a real adventure when it went out.
