    New parts needed from going from an LA 318 to a 360/408 magnum stroker?

    What can I use from our old engine.  The new stroker has an intake and oil pan. 

    Can we switch  starter, distributer, carb; Carter 650, headers?  Anything else you can think of?

    I think you are in good shape as far as what you listed in your swap, but the size of the carb will be too small if you really want the most out of that engine. I would be thinking 750.

    Is it externally or internally balanced? You might need a different flywheel/convertor.
