In my 64 Dodge B body big block , there is ALL KINDS of room from the back 
of engine to the firewall. I would rather have a little more of that room up 
front to make it easier to mount pulleys-fans and radiator 
clearance.....................MO

I can't tell by the photos. But in a B body Mopar you can look at the 
firewall where the transmission meets the engine and see the clearance is 
short. Sometimes you'll see after effects of a big hammer used to push the 
firewall back there. The big Mopars may have more space to play with in that 
area.

I guess you can measure from the back of the valve cover to the firewall to 
find what you have. Then find an original to compare. But a 318 Poly would 
be the original, not the LA if I recall correctly. So more arithmetic would 
be needed.

If you do not care if the engine is set back 1 5/8" is there a reason why 
it matters that what you have there is a 1965 or 1966 K member?

Thanks,
Gary H.
