WRONG BIG TIME. I will fight that till the death. I had so many people tell me that, but when it came time for my motor to go m y 1970 duster, I had to change my center link, and idler and pitman arms for it to work. There was NO clearance at all. The links are completely different.

wrong big time my ***. i have no idea where you are getting your info at. i have no idea where your getting your parts at or what mis matched parts your using. but i do know i have built 4 or 5 big block a-bodies over the years and have never had a problem with pre 73 pitman arms,idler arms or center links. your doing something wrong man. I've used pro parts headers,fender well headers , b-body headers and custom built headers . pro parts being my favorite. all 440 cars. i used Schumacher mounts on 67-72 6 cyl. k-members on all but 2 of the cars. one had a dc k-member and the other had custom mounts we made (early a) and they all used 67-72 pitman arms,idler arms and center links(except the early a). all had 73 spindles and upper control arms and that was it. hell the 73 duster we did we even put the older k-frame in and used the pre 73 front end stuff because it was easier to do at the time because we had the parts laying around.

I'm done arguing about this with you. this is a stupid argument. believe what you want. your doing something wrong man. a big block into an a-body is as straight forward easy of a swap that there is. headers being your biggest decision. its a bolt in deal for god sakes. its not worth fighting about. i know what parts i used. i learned putting these cars together before any of these web sites were around. its not rocket science here. hell you know how many people told me that a 440 would never fit into a 64 valiant? everyone. why? because thats what one of the stupid magazines said back in the day. well screw that. guess what. other then making my own mounts which were made from c-body bracket and some box steel and custom headers the 440 bolted right into that ***** and was actually easier to work on then the 360 that was in the car before. if i never built a big block a-body, gathered all the parts for one and beat the living hell out of one then i wouldn't be commenting on this subject.
