I might be a little biased, but I say do the Type 4 conversion. It really is a great conversion, if done correctly. A good place to start reading is this tech article I wrote:

There's also a great thread over at the Type 4rum on shoptalkforums.com showing a well executed T4->T3 conversion. The pictures show how well a Type 4 engine fits into a Type 3:

Tram,

Quote: If a Type 4 was meant to be put in a Type 3, the factory would have done it.

That mean I have to take the 440-6 out of my 74 Challenger ? :wink:

Tuna,

I'll read them over. I'll probably end up with both engines in there at some time ( not at the same time ).

Thanks for the input all.

If you put carbs on an L'Jet bus motor how many horses do you knock off the rated FI horsepower? Running carbs w/an FI cam?

you don't... you just have to tune the carbs
