Did they ever put a 383 4 bbl carburated engine in a factory Satellite?Every time I've seen a Satellite it always had a 318. Can some someone please tell me what the biggest Engine they ever dropped in a Satellite is. I'm only 15 years old and just bought a 70 Satellite. It has a 318 and a 904 tranny. I love the car very much and payed for it ($1000) with all my own money, no help from parents. I had to mow alot of lawns to make the money. Now I want to drop a bigger motor in and I don't have much money so I'll probalby get a 383. What is involved in an engine swap? I need a little help. Please e-mail back at devin70gtx@aol.com

The 440 is the biggest engine that came in any Plymouth or Dodge and they also came in Satellites. Your looking at a lot of work to put a B/RB in your car it will need a k member or a motor mount kit for the big engine and trans for a B/RB engine and you should change the rear end to an 8 3/4" and you should use a larger rad. to keep the big engine cool.  

Pssst...  30 some years ago I was told you had to change the K member to put a big block into a small block car. Nope, don't gotta. You DO have to change the k frame if you're putting an 8 into a 6 cylinder car, or change it or make some mods if you're putting a hemi into anything else. Probably the most frustrating part is re-running your wiring and making sure you have a complete engine so you have all the brackets, linkages, big block tranny, etc. Make sure you increase your radiator size so you have enough cooling capacity.
