Hi everyone. Even though I am a diehard Mopar lover I am very new to the A-body world. I have a factory 273/4spd 67 Barracuda that I have started disassembly to have body/paint done. I have been buying up goodies to do a 440 swap. The person doing the body/paint has to drop the K-member to put on his jig. While we were discussing my project he stated I should try and find a BB A-body K-member to put back. I have already bought a Shumacher mount/strap kit and TTI headers. The problem is I have no idea what I am looking for. I have seen pics of a DC (spool type) K-member as well as video's of people turning 6cl/SB members into BB members. Without knowing what I am buying I could be buying a 6cyl or SB K-member that also has spool mounts. If people don't mind can you tell me your opinion on whether I should just keep my factory member and use the Shumacher setup or should I search for a DC member and then find later C-body motor mounts? Which will give me a better fitment? Also can people please tell me how to tell a DC K-member from a cutup member? As always I value and respect your helpful information, Thank you
Robert
