When putting a 383 in place of a 340, do I need to change the K member?
You need custom motor mounts.
rayer:rayer: gotta praise the discussion forum purist.OP didn't ask that ?
http://www.engine-swaps.com/So...which would be the easiest way to do this? Can I buy the mounts, shims and torque strap without having to do the cutting or drilling. And where's a good place to get everything from? Thank you everyone for the help.

stock K members require cutting/welding a relief for the oil pump.. Schumacher covers this in the swap motor mounts they sell..So...which would be the easiest way to do this?

Easiest would be to beg Jim lusk to build you one.
I would highly recommend an Alterktion lol. Just kidding! ;)

My QA1 came notched for the pump, I just ground the weld flat and repainted the spot.. no cutting or welding required..
Do the schumacher mounts work with the qa1 k member
For BB/RB swap purposes?
Mild threadjack, apologies.
I like that paintguy...easy, serviceable, cost efficient. Where do I get them from and will they work on a 68 barracuda?Later K Member with Schumacher Swap Kit. Ease of install, serviceable starter with header's still on. Simple, efficient, cost proven.

I bought the 383 before I bought the cuda. I wanted a 68 rr and when I got the cuda the 340 wasn't in it.Just noticed what you want to replace --- WHY go from the 340 to a 383
