DC K frame question

Fast340cuda said

I just picked up what I believe is a big block DC K frame. Upon measuring the mount offset I’m getting 3/4” on the passenger side and roughly 7/8” on the driver side vs 13/16” and 1 3/16” from Jim Lusks posted dimensions for his modified small block version.

Thinking the passenger side will work as is but may need to cut the driver side mount off and slide it back.

Was hoping someone on here has an original DC k frame that they could measure and confirm what they have for an offset. Also would like to know if the dimensions are close to mine, were you able to mount the motor without much trouble?

Thanks!

I have a proparts k member that is in my dart and bought that in the late 80's and according to what Proparts claimed their K member they sold was supposed to be a an exact replica copy of the dc k member. Does yours have the spool motor mounts and a provision for a later style sway bar that goes thru the k member instead of underneath it? As far as cutting the mount off, on mine I had to cut a notch out of the motor mount saddle for the oil pump to clear on the 440 I installed . Not sure if that helps or if I have the same style you bought. Lmk either way good luck with the install, since I can't get an answer from schumacher about wheen their adapter motor mounts will be available if ever again
