Replacing the K Member for a BB

To some on here they don't count

I presume the 383/440 K would be the same then.

Dave, do you have James Schilds Original Challenger and Barracuda 1970/74? Page 52 left column.

Having done the swop I think the guy is talking spanners.

The B & R/B motor will fit the same "K" as the 318/340 motor in an "E" body (and therefore most probably a '68 - '70 "B" body.

HOWEVER, the metal brackets that bolt to the block ARE different on both sides. I also think the "rubbers" are a different configuration, but cannot remember......

Nope. I heard it was so full of errors it was not worth having.

I have twice been involved in fitting 383 engines into 318 Challengers and both were a direct swap with the correct engine mounts.
