K frame swap

[Rob Vaughn]

Will a 69 coronet k frame fit on 65 coronet 440?
Also are the motor mounts in the same position?

I dont think this really answers, but it may help;

What did you do about the transmission mount also moving back?

Trans x-member and mount will need some ingenuity. The newer k unit gets the engine closer to the firewall. Depending on what HVAC plumbing is there, you may have to move it too. I'm using a 70 unit on my car. Idler arm is different too compared to the 65. Engine mount brackets are different. You can see what I did in my thread "Updating the Super Street Mopar"

I made a cross member with the late model spool mount for my own use. Pretty simple.
