1st off, welcome to FBBO,
shouldn't be an issue really,
there were a ton of bb versions of the 71 Chargers
the 440 should just bolt in, the original K-Member should be fine, with the proper motor mounts etc.,
you'll need a Big Block 727 trans also, the sb & bb trans bell housing are different, won't bolt up,
IIRC you may have to shorten your driveshaft also, or buy one for a bb car
the sb's came with 7260 universal joints usually too,
the bb's usually had the larger 7290 version universals & corresponding ***. transmission yoke
{904 sb trans yoke is a 25 spline, 727 is a 29 spline}
& rear carrier yokes are larger for the bb 8.750" & Dana 60's {1350 universals} cars too,
you will have to change the exhaust manifolds & exhaust head pipes too to bb versions,
probably have to get longer heater hoses too {not 100% sure there}
engine wiring harness will need to be slightly altered a few wires lengthened rerouted etc.,
Ignition distributor is in the front on a bb's vs the back on sb's,
make sure your oil pan is proper one for a 71-74 B-Body too, something like a truck pan wont work {depending on the year}
Schumacher Creative Services @
www.engine-swaps.com ,
Mancini Racing @
http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/ , is also great source too
some stuff will need to be altered slightly like exhaust, engine wiring, heater hoses, radiator hoses, transmission lines etc.
your local parts store or Summit Racing will have 99% of what you'll need,
then your local muffler shop or if your handy with a welder &/or bender, for your pipes/exhaust, you could do it yourself...
In the future,
I'd highly suggest that you should post your questions,
in the associated & proper forums, or general discussion forum,
& not the welcome wagon,
it's mainly for introductions, getting to know each other & welcoming...
GOOD LUCK
you'll get far more responses & help
