Conquest 2.4 swap info

Post by Trentonnavarro »

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and fairly new to dsm. But I feel in love with dsm after I got my first95 mighty max. Sadly though I was in a wreck with my mighty max.
Now I don't want it to die completely, so what I would like to do is swapmthe engine and possibly the trans into an 85 conquest that I have found.
Unfortunately I have been have trouble finding some of of the info I would need to do the swap.
1 is my current engine a wide or narrow block? I've looked in a couple places and one says narrow where as the other says wide.
2 would my trans fit? I read that the shifter point will need to be moved 2" but I could possibly get a conquest five speed. I'm just not sure if my engine will bolt up.
3 if any one has any info or a link to another thread that would be greatly appreciated!
And thanks to every one in advance

A 95 Mighty Max is a 7-bolt wideblock.
The transmission fits, but you would have to change out the tail section with a Conquest/Starion. You would be better off using a Conquest/Starion transmission, which will bolt to the wideblock.

What would be a good clutch and flywheel to get? And do I use the station motor mount or the mighty max?
