Engine and trans mount 1962 Dart 440

[Snork1]

Question on swapping 318 early 318 in 1962 Dart to 440 and late model 727 mounts motor seems to set too far forward help please

i think '62 stuff is unique. I always thought a 62 k-member had to have 62 mounts.

I swapped out a push button small input big block trans for a later large input lever shifter trans in my 62savoy. So i could change back later if i wanted, i swapped the trans crossmember 180 degrees, and welded on a new mount to work with the new mount spacing of the later trans.

Have you got the proper 62-65 big block k-member? They do mount the engine farther forward than later b-bodies.

The 62 K member only has detachable pedestals. the actual engine plates are the same between 62-65. ( Which I have sell if snork needs).
Snork should clarify what mounts he is using ; early vs late, and I hope not trying to use the 318 plates.
Yes the early B cars did position the engine forward compared to 66 and later.

Pretty much same thing on my 64 Ply. With a 'later' 727, mine a 67, also had to modify the trans crossmember mount location...moved it toward the rear by 1/2".
That's using a stock 62-64 BB K-member.
