M Code K frame question...
my m-code cuda is now sitting in my garage after a year and a half with AMD's resto shop "rebuilding" the car. i'm starting to think about parts i will need.
the k frame in the car was "butchered" by the former drag race guys who built the car for the strip. it CANNOT be reused. the original m cudas came with 383's then hurst installed 440's. i know several companies make motor mounts capable of putting a 440 into about any barracuda regardless of the original k member/engine.
do you guys know if it would be easier to find an original 383 k member to drop the 440 on or are the current motor mounts so good that it doesn't matter which k member i use? i do have a very nice "small block" (318/340) k member that would solve my problem "IF" i can drop a 440 on it with "somebody's" motor mounts.
i do want this cuda to be as "original" as possible so if there is a big difference between a "big block" k member and a "small block" one then i'll try and find the big block model.
thanks...
