Default 52 dodge b series ls swap

Trying to find info on LS swapping my 52 pilothouse. Its sitting on a 95 Dakota chassis and was told that chassis is the easiest to work with. But what about that chassis with the b series body? Can anyone help?

I would just start measuring the firewall/fenderwell/core support for all body-related clearance issues.
Remove doghouse, drop engine/tranny on chassis, trim doghouse as necessary to fit.

Agreed. You're on your own for a swap like this. But just start measuring a whole bunch, trim what you must, make some mounts and let her roll. It's only steel. It can be welded back up if needed. Your swap probably won't go over well on the P15-D24 site, but lots of info over there on the trucks themselves. Start posting pics here as you go. Ask lots of questions and lots of guys are here to help. Good and bad, lol. Finishing the chassis on a '47 P15 now. Think he's going Hemi and 5 speed. But it's the same scenario as yours. Measure, cut, fab and weld.
