Thanks Goldshiftgarage!

Hemi performance do the conversation engine mounts but you’ve gotta use the v8 k frame lots of guys make there own mounts and center the big block to get it away from the booster I have the hemi performance mount but have not yet tried

They do make mounts , i always had a factory v8 k frame but i know people use custom mounts. Its based on an body in the usa . They had big blocks even 426 hemis. Mate had a Vk charger with a 440 years ago but he sold it because it was too wild for him. Im sure it had factory exhaust manifolds.

@@TwistedMetalCustoms the engine and trans mounts should be available for Castlemaine.... The yoke for a 4 speed manual and a 727 are the same they are bigger than the standard yokes ..then you just have to find the tail shaft to fit Possibly you would have have one cut and shut Now I assume the trans being a 727 it would bolt up to a standard trans mount as the 360 cars ran these Al the time I hope this helps ...I'm currently building a vj 265 turbo Mopar or no car

@@TwistedMetalCustoms no you tube channel at the moment.. The slipper yoke for a 4 speed hemi 6 cylinder is the yoke you need Providing this is the same 727 used in the vh to cm series ..the vh to cm tailshafts are all the same diameter.

absolutely agree, on both parts haha

I think the biggest problem, if I remember correctly, is that you have a 6-cylinder k-frame. That was 25 years ago, so a little hazy. But you need custom mounts for them. Well, I did. The other thing is headers; they don't fit when putting a 440 in cm, vh, or vk. You can buy undercarriage or cut the fender wells to fit, but it's not an easy straight fit. Other things I would say are to strengthen the frame rails; they crack and twist with a 245 hemi, let alone that thing. But you can do it with a lot more work than you first think. Watch out for the need for a 727 tranny off a big block. The bell housing is not the same. Maybe someone who's done it not 25 years ago with a better memory can help. Damn, red backs are something I don't miss from Australia, lol.

ahh yes, would i have to strengthen the 6 cyl K frame? or just find a v8 one you think? i have got "Huggers" extractors that apparently fit between the strut towers hopefully, maybe move the brake booster over a touch... i definetly will strengthen the frame rails then haha, don't want to write it off! the 727 i have, came with the motor from the motorhome, it has a uni joint though at the yolk, not a spline... going to have a few hurdles ut i think it will be worth the effort! thanks Ian 👌 Loges.
