O.K. I was viewing this auction... and was sorta stumped how high this K member went... 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mopar-426-Hemi-K-member-B-Body-1966-1969_W0QQitemZ8077129452
Is there really alot of differences between a standard an this one???  I notice the skid plate for the deep oil pan... 
I see that he has TWO sway bars that he is claiming are off if the same car >?  TWO wrecked HEMI Chargers?>>>>?? 

tan top

as well as the skid plate the motor mount brackets are different. all  R/T front sway bars are the same diameter weather it is a 440 or hemi. the first bar is a OEM  69 and earlier , as it is curved in the middle. the second bar  looks to be an after market ( addco) 1 1/8 bar  looks like it is for a 70   as it is straight, to use this bar , you need  special mounting brackets bolted to the k frame. the k frame the guy is selling looks to have  these brackets in place. but i cannot see the u shaped bar to bracket  mounting clamp
Feel free to post any relevant picture you think we all might like to see in the threads below!

Charger Aficionado-  I'm not shocked at the price of the hemi K-member on ebay, remember the hemi stuff is hot right now and if you really need one for a resto, you are going to have a hard time finding one cheap anymore.  The one in my HP2 was a modified (homemade) K-frame.  You can modify a regular K-frame to hemi specs, but it will be hard to make it look orginal.  A few years ago, I was offered a hemi K-frame in trade for the 69 superbee hood that I had in the garage, but I turned it down since I needed the hood.  Now I wish I had done the trade.........
