this appears to be a V8, perch measures the correct 3 3/4”, but the pass side looks to set further back than the drivers side.

Any one care to confirm it’s is a V8?

Have an upcoming Gen III Hemi swap coming up and was going to use this as a doner to mock up ahead of pulling my current K out. But then, the way I understand it, the slant 6 would be a better suiter as it affords a slight bit more room so may abandon this one in search of a /6, just thought I would confirm my suspicions 1st....

The V8 mounts will both be the same height. Slant K has one side taller, driver side I think.
 
Here's a great K Frame reference from the Schumacher site:
K-Member ID Chart

Your K Frame looks like a V8, as with a 73+ /6 K the passenger side perch sits right above the LCA pivot shaft.
