440 swap question

[coxie1996]

I'm doing a 440 swap into my 1973 318 charger.. I know Schumacher has there mounts but was wondering if these will work instead

Those appear to be stock 440 mounts.

Here is the issue you have to overcome:

If your car was an original 318 car, the welded motor mount ears on the K-member will not accept a stock 440 engine mount. You have three choices if you want to drop in the 440:

1. Get a 400/440 big K-member and install it. Then you can use stock big block engine mounts. No small job, but not impossible either.

2. Use the Schumacher conversion mounts which allow you to keep the small block K-member.

3. Custom fabricate something.

Yep.
