Will the stock oil pan work I have a milodon on the motor now 7 qt know that bad boy won't fit to put the 440 in the Cuda
 
Love my BB A-body! Went Schumacher route with what they called a 'Magnum' mount at the time (I believe the Polylocs are the replacement for those now) and their torque strap just for good measure. Agree with the shim kit. I have /6 K and with the mod that has to be done to the driver side perch on those, I later welded in a 1/4" plate that served as both a shim and reinforcement.

There is said to be a stock pan that will work.

THE pan to get is the milodon 7qt road race pan
 
I'm in the process of a 440 a body myself. Schumacher is the way to go imo. Do yourself a favor and take your time. Do your research. Ask questions and have fun with it. It won't be as easy as a small block project, but imo so much cooler!
 
Thank You very much will check it out

I agree on lots of pics. I used a 8 QT morose pan on the 440 I put in my 73 dart. The short block that I used in my 440 came out of 66 Plymouth B-body

I can't say for 100 percent but it should. Also I think in 1966 they moved the engines back.
Also just remembered the morose pan I had on the 440 in my 65 Plymouth B-Body fit right in my 73 Dodge Dart.
 
It's on been on hold for a few months due to family obligations. Click on the blue "Resurecting Moms Duster" link at the bottom of the post.
 
I was going with the transdapt mounts. Exactly the same as the Schumacher mounts of half the price :)
Works out great fitment for the 383. I´m using stock HP Manifolds and have enough clearance on passanger side.

Go for it!:thumbsup:

siunds like your well on ypur way hope it's a smooth ride Thanks
 
If I put a straight axel and motor plate with vega steering box do I need my k member
 
Anyone needing mounts I have a set of Schumacher mounts with less than 10 miles on them....$120 plus shipping
 
Here is one fitted to a Aussie 70 Valiant, we stripped the K frame and made our own mounts to suit, left side solid and set it up closer to centre. Pipes where going to be a big problem as our steering is on the right so went for Headman Header fenderwells. All good and have just run a 9.99 and we can still drive on the street a little.

Just swapped a 440 into my Demon back in July/August. Blew the 318 up and had the 440 waiting on the stand. I rigged up my own mounts due to lack of budget and wanting to get the car rolling again asap. passenger side has a truck mount with 2x6 tubing and drivers is a chunk of 2x6 tubing. When money permits I will be changing the mounts up to the Transdapt mounts just to clean up the look. My biggest issue with the swap was making a 4 speed work with it. Modifying the Zbar and making all that work smoothly was tough and isn't perfect yet. The car is loads of fun to drive, especially compared to a 318. Good luck on your build and forget the "stick with the small block" guys. (no offense to those guys, to each their own) I got the same run around on the web and here locally. Now that it is done everyone thinks its pretty damn cool.

Is the road race pan rectangular like a pro-touring or dragster pan? If so, that will only work with an aftermarket k-member. You might already know that, just wanted to make sure the original poster knows that.
 
On my current street car I went with a nice motor plate from AR-Engineering, 400/500" low deck, and 1.75" B-body underchassis headers. The motor plate allows more room to work on headers and starter but it does rattle the car more on the street, which doesn't bother me. I also cut the factory motor mount stands off the K-member so they're gone and out of the way.

Thanks! When I was building the car I had a cheap new oil filter on the shelf for a Durango, so I used it just for mockup and of course some internet dummies had to crucify me for racing with that oil filter(I never even used it), so I had to hide it in the photo. I only use a WIX-51515 filter on my car.
