Will truck engine (318) work in '70 charger K member?

[wetfeetmi]

 Help please?  Can I change oil pan to front sump and are motor mount casting compatible ?  I have a good 318 that I want to install in my Daytona clone, but I have doubts. Thanks in advance for a reply. Rick

yes, itll fit as long as you do 2 things:

First, change the oil pan and motor mounts over to one for your car, actually, i think ive still got a stock pan around here somewhere thats in decent shape, if you want it, ill sell it cheap! 
Second: You'll probably need to change the exhaust manifolds to ones for a car.  This however im not 100 percent sure on, depends on  the year truck i believe.  i also have a spare set of those lying in the garage shelves too. pm me if interested.

hope this helps

Sure it will work Rick....all V-8 k frames are the same (except the hemi, of course). A smallblock and bigblock will interchange, no problem. 

The oilpan and engine brackets will need to be swapped out and you will also need the right motor mounts (biscuit style) but it will drop right in.

Don't forget to swap out the oil pickup tube.
