Re: Kindve off topic, maybe not. Motor question

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong(lol), but I always thought that there were two different K-frames? One for small block engines and one for big block. And to put a big block in a small built car you needed special motor mounts?

Agree that the engine bay is no problem, but since it is currently set-up for a small block, a 73 Charger does require BB motor mounts. Your 383 already had big block motor mounts. As someone has already said, I think the earlier, 62-65 383 and 727 would replace a Poly 318/727, but not sure if a motor mount change would be necessary.

Actually no special motor mounts are required the standard big block mounts work just fine I pulled a 383 out of a Newport and put it into my 72 charger no k member change no special mounts. did replace the rubber isolators as they were mushy. But that car is designed for a big block anyway. The small block uses a different bracket that bolts to the block to make it fit the b body k frame.

What was the original engine? Big block to big block (440) should be no problem. Small block (318/340/360) to big-block conversion in a B-body would require different motor mounts and a change of transmission set-up for a 727, including a new drive shaft.

If I have a 73 charger, with a 727 (not in it), and a 440 out of a motor home, with new conversion mounts, will I be able to put the 440 and 727 in with no problems?
