Answer 1

Ok depending on what orinialy came in your cuda you can do either. If yours came with a 273, 318, 340, or a 360 I would say go with a chrysler 408 stroker that is for sale by BluePrint at www.summitracing.com, its a little under $4000 with everything and is a very good motor. If yours came withthe 225 slant six, there are major changes that must be done to even handle the power of even a 318 V8 including K-member modifications, transmission, rear end, and suspension. If yours came with a 361, 383, 400, 413, 417, 426 Wedge, 426 Hemi, ot 440 you can interchange these fairly simply with just swap mounts. 383's are some of the cheapest big-blocks you can still find and build up for 400hp fairly easily. If you are seruoisly considering this, shoot me an email and we'll talk about your options.
