Slant to V8

[money pit]

I have a 1970 barracuda with a slant six with an auto trans. I would like to swap the six for 340 or 360 with a 727. Does anyone sell a conversion kit for the motor mounts so I won't have to change the K member? Also, do I need to change the trans. cross member? I know I will need to get a new drive shaft and eventually a new rear end. Thanks

What are you plans for your six cylinder?

I'm going to sell the engine, trans, and radiator. It has a super six intake and a autolite 2150 carb. The trans has been resealed and I had a rear main seal replaced. It runs great but I want to put a V 8 in.

you need a v8 K frame

That's what I thought. I know the A bodies have conversion kits so you don't need to replace the k member. Thanks.

I just contacted them. They said it would be easier to change the K member. Thnaks

My Cuda is a 68, but it's an A-Body....originally a /6 converted to SBM just with mounts...
