Odyssey5 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 So i bought another Conquest and this one has 251,000 miles on the engine. Rebuilt transmission and presumably a cracked head or gasket due to no compression. It was towed for about 60,000 and the body is in great shape. Because it has such high mileage instead of just replacing the head I wanted to replace the whole engine. Would I be able to transplant a 80's Dodge Caravan (ENTIRE) engine into my 85 Flatty Conquest.[ the one is the yard has 85,000 ] Worst case is I would take it out of my 86 Flatty with 139,000 miles and just get a New Head to be safe. I'm trying to save cash and a junkyard engine is $150. My Red Quest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
