Is the 383 k frame the same as for a 440
Thanks

Nope...it's the mounts that differ.
The mounts are different on the motor, but the same on the k frame.
I think the 67 k frame may be a little different from the 68/69.
I have a 440 in my 69 383-S fastback and am using 383 mounts on both sides. Works perfect, I am not sure why the factory used different drivers side mounts.
You must be using a 440 that has the two bosses cast into the front of the block like they did on some of the 383's. On the M-Code cars they tapped the two bosses by the oil pump, bent the drivers side bracket a little differently then took and welded a crude piece of angle iron to the bracket. The angle iron then was bolted to the oil pump boss.
Thank you very much! I'll be on the look-out for a 69' Dodge Pick-Up then! Is 69' the only year? Or will most of the old Dodge Trucks around that model work? Do you have any close-up pictures of this mount with no obstructions? If so, would you mind posting a few? I guess measurements would be Self-Explanitory once you had the 383 Mount already bolted to your 440 block right?
Thanks again,
Dan
