So lost...

Ok I think I messed up somewhere. I went to put my 440 in and and its not going in there right and wont level out. Do I have a slant 6 k member or small block k member?

I believe the v8 crossmember has motor mount perches that are about 14 inches apart.

which engine mounts are you trying to use? i mean are you useing the shumocker(spelling) engine mounts? if so you have to more of less cut the top off the old motor mount and redrill a new hole in the drivers side k-frame.i tryed to take a pic of my big block 73 dart but the pics did not come out very good. also yours looks like a small block k-frame to me. the 74 slant six i just pulled out of my 74 duster the left side mount sits a lot higher than the right side.Mopar65

I am using the Schumacher mounts but there two styles one for S6 to RB and v8 B/RB

 

[JoeDust451]

It looks like a 6 member, You'll need the 6 too BB mounts, the pass side mount will be further back (towards the firewall) then the Driver side.

here is a pic of a slant six k-frame that i just pulled out of my 74 duster.the second pic if your useing the shumocker mounts is about wear you would drill your new hole.now that is a slant six k-frame and i the kit i used was for a small block k-frame. so i might be off a little bit wear the hole goes.thanks Mopar65

 

[unknownsnake]

Is it just me or does it look like one mount is higher in that pic?

if your are talking about my pic. yes it is.its for a slant six engine.

here are the instructions for the 73 up v8 to rb engine mounts.

What number in vin tells what the original motor was? And what is the number for s6 and what one for B?

 

[unknownsnake]

Ok I got it thanks abodyjoe. I didn't even think about going to schumacker site.
Just for the interested mine is a small block k-member

 

[CUUDAK]

Yep its a 318 k-frame. You can cut the mounts and move them rearward per bigblockdart.com and use c-body B mounts. Mine is a Direct Connection piece but it is done just like that.

If you hit the search at the top of the page you can find a direct link to the thread!

 

[crackedback]

As you found it's a v8 K frame.

The easiest way for me to tell. The pass side saddle on a v8 lines up close with idler arm mount, /6 is lined up closer to the a-arm pivot.

you will also have to smash the seam flat in the bell housing area.
