K-member delima

The block sits on the gear box. Between the manifold, gear box, and torsion bars, makes starter and changing plugs an all day task. The 440 manifolds exit close to the torsion bars, the drag link cause clearance issues with the center sump oil pan as well. The only thing that doesn't fit under the hood was the radiator cap. I'd raise the motor only to allow clearance for a rear mount rack, but it isn't availble. The motor was centered and set to the height I was looking for and the k-frame was modified to match it. The remote oil filters was a must do to the stock location, was allowing the oil filter to sit on the k-frame. Also the lower motor location, allowed for better bell house's clearance from the 727. Yes for the ones that may question, its a 727 not the old heavy cast iron tranny. Crank was swapped for an early forged 383 crank, to allow the torque convert/tranny conversion easy. Motor has been moved a little forward to sit center on the engine compartment, wait transfer isnt a concern, due to additional weight added to the rear, behind the axle, roughly 400lbs. Also allowed for better clearance of the master cylinder.
