Turbo 383 in a A-body Barracuda

AGREED!! I wont be back halfing like Louis did,I want to keep my back seat. Pretty much doing the rest though.

Why do you need to change the K member? I have the Shumacher Big block swap mounts for a 318 to b rb swap.They are really good quality. Good choice if you dont like a LOT of vibration,like from elephant ears. Id reccomend chaining down the drivers side anyways.Cant hurt with a big block.

Yeah,
I am getting rid of the sandwich mounts. Even with the torque-strap it has mutilated them. I have had a front clip from a 73 Dart racecar for years and it has everything I needed to convert to Disc brakes. With the kind of torque turbo's create I think the spool mounts are way stronger. This was a smallblock k-member that has had the mounts cut and moved back to Direct-connection's specs so with the C-bodis mounts I have everything will drop in nice. Just did my Dad's Duster 318 k-frame the same way but with a 413 in it. He went with solid mounts and I will be using the polyurethane inserts.
