So I got a complete front suspension off a 68 for the brakes, BBP, and swaybar. I want to put it on my 73 dart that has drums, SBP, and no swaybar. Got the v8 k member with all of the parts. My 73 is a slant 6 with spool mounts and the 68 with biscuits. Can I use the 68 k member when I do my v8 swap

It looks like the 68 (A-body?) Frame has 73-up type Brakes ? with an aftermarket sway bar ? You could use the whole assembly but will need the correct Biscuit mounts and brackets.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. . I certainly can be.
I'd sell both frames and get a spool mount K member but thats just me. There are a few options for sure.
 
Bolt it up and go.
Just use engine mounts/brackets for '67-'72 applications. Since it's got BBP discs, it already has '73 and later upper control arms (large ball joint) and spindles.
Also a good time to put in heavier torsion bars.

I'd stick with the 68 K Frame. They were just made better.
 
You may or may not want to keep your 73 steering box. If you do, you will likely need the later model centerlink, pitman arm, and idler. Those components must go together

Lower arms are interchangeable except for the sway bar brackets

You said BBP? Does the 68 have 73/ later disk setup?
If you later go to a later/ bigger anti roll bar you may want to consider tearing that down and swapping the spindles and calipers side to side which puts the calipers in the rear of the wheels. You will need different hoses to do that
