Default New 403 owner

The theory that the change from Bristol engines to Chrysler engines
undermines the engineering does not take into account the engineering
skills of Chrysler. Having owned a number of cars, including Chryslers,
I can say that not all American V-8s are the same. The emissions
standards of the 70's killed Ford and GM's v8s. Chryslers were not in
the same problem of losing all power.
As far as putting something into a 403, there was an Arnolt Bristol that
had a Triumph 6 and gear box installed without cutting up the frame. I
believe it was a TR6 engine and box. Kevin
