K Frame question and steering

Since it's already bolted together, I'd recommend swapping the K-frames with the engines & transmissions on them. To do this, you'll need a cradle to roll units in and out from under the car and a stout engine hoist. Disconnect transmission crossmember, oil pressure & water temp leads, Any A/C hoses & wires to body, K-frame to lower radiator link, engine to body & battery leads, front brake hoses, top shock mounts, & upper control arms. Remove A/T dipstick, steering column assembly, & radiator. Do this before unbolting the k-frame. Once prepped, the actual swap will only take about a half hour.
