Who makes a mount motor set for 66 charger 318 to 78 440?

spcedwards214 · Dec 3, 2014

Building a 78 440 engine for my 66 charger. went to buy this motor mount conversion kit to convert it to big block mm's and it says to 72. Freaking out now. Is there a difference in the motor mount ears between the 72 and 78? Or do you know where I can find this mount swap set somewhere.

Try Schumacher. Ask for Interlockers.

Interesting. Big block and small block K frames are different 71 and up. But unless you are looking for a special kind, I just went to NAPA and got a set.
The rear one is different big to small block but all big block ones are 2536121 (L/R). Rear 2533145.
NAPA number cross to Part Number: Part Number: BK 6021118 (L/R) and BK 6021174.

You need to find a set of mounting brackets and mounts for the bb or rb block 66 to 72. The mount you should be able to get at any good auto parts store. The brackets changed in 73 and where used to 78.

Contacted 440 source and got the issue corrected 72-78 is the same mounting style on the bb. So I can go with their swap set right around 105 bucks. Beats classic industries 145 and is essentially the same exact brackets and bolts. Classic industries couldn't answer the question anyways. I love me some knowledgeable people. lol Thanks guys. Mopar or no car.

63-72 used the biscuit mount. 73-78 used the spool mount.
Mounting ears on big block are the same 62-78
62-72 the V-8 K-frames are the same between small and big block. 73-78 they are different.
As stated before just get the 66-72 BB mounting brackets. 440 Source had them for 55.00
Your not converting anything. Your removing a V-8 from your V-8 K-frame and installing another V-8
