440 in a body with hemidenny k frame

I have the new front end. I use the Indy SR heads with automatic transmission. Used elephant ears for motor mounts. TTI 2 1/8" step headers. I know you asked about a manual trans. but I reduced a lot of clearance issues with his front end. It used to take about a 4 to 5 hours to change a starter. NOW about a hour! I hope this helps a little.
