I compared the repo pan to my original 893 pan. It is a near perfect match. I would almost say the new one is a touch thicker, which I consider a good thing. Other than that the three baffles are correct with some very slight variances and will never be seen once installed.

67 R/T and GTX used chrome valve covers also. I believe they were the same as A-body. I have a right side w/o bracket on my green car, which I know is incorrect for 67.

Correct Gerald, 67 through 69 were the same for an actual A-body big block with 893 pan. They've made the tubes, but not the sticks until recently as far as I know or could ever find..

Older post I know. I did purchase one of these tubes and sticks. I compared to my 68's original and it is exacting for big block A-body with 893 oil pan.

67 383 4-spd is Carter AFB 4298s for Your Barracuda

only left side is 440 only. The right side 2863900 is 383 and 440 - as you have pictured. Yes Rani the 67's are a bit more restrictive then the 68-9's. With that said it would not sway me one second from coming off what I wanted for them. Exhaust manifolds are restrictive by nature than say...

there's no replacement for displacement!! It is the 440 a-body left side going for that kind of money. I've picked up a few sets of 383's in the 5-600+ range for factory cars. If it wasn't a resto I would for sure go with headers or modified b-body hp manifolds and leave the factory stuff for...

Rani, that may very well be possible.

the first two picture are factory a-body big block 2863900. It has a longer down leg to the b-body b/rb hp manifold also a quick tell tale is the casting number is on the front leg not in the middle. On the car is the b-body manifold and when I get the correct engine back in the car the correct...

B-body B/RB hp manifold will fit on right side, but without milling it will also hit the right inner fender skirt if using factory bb a-body K-frame. I do not know if spool mount k-frame sits different?

if that +/- half point in compression bothers you. You can, down the road, use the thin .026 head gaskets or find some 915 heads to get it back. I'd run the 9:5 pistons and enjoy it being able to drive it anywhere.

If the picture above is the k-frame in question The answer is yes it is for a big block, By the look of the idler arm it is from a 67.

1-1/4" dorman part number 555-024 on the exhaust. 1" is dorman 555-018 on the sides of the head.

torque or alignment? notch to notch same as rods. If that's what you're asking.

The bearing notch on the cap goes with the bearing notch on the rod. All the others should be in agreement with this to verify.

If an E came after the date then we would be considering something else, but the letter before the 383 is the model year.

E 383 = C-67, D-68, "E-69", F-70 So from the numbers you gave E 383 is a 1969 model 383, 11 25 2 is the assembly date 11/25/68 and should proceed the engine casting date 11/15/68 which it does. The last "2" is the shift.

69 383 should be forged, but if ever changed/rebuilt it could be cast 400. Do you have a casting number from the crank? That will tell you.

best to post a picture

there is no replacement for displacement.

893 oil pan is not only hard to find, they go for +/- $1,000 when found.

Jim while not trying to argue. I have done it in the 80's. The spool mounts and width of the tabs and how they mount aren't any different then in a big block 400 cordoba in 76. So Chrysler did do it they just didn't put the big block in an a-body after 69. Big block a-bodies didn't sell well...

I among a lot of other cars had stuck a 440 in a 73 dart sport I had which was a factory 340 car. It requires no modification to any mounts to make it fit right in the factory unmodified spool-type k-frame and chassis. All I used were 76 Chrysler Cordoba motor mounts for a big block. I also used...

with the spool mount K-frames from the 73-up cars you can drop a big block right on the mounts using 400 cordoba etc motor mounts.

The factory BB A-body 893 will work with no issues as it is already properly notched for clearance. I have a 402 in my other BB a-body it too has no issue with pan to drag link idler clearance.. BTW the 893 pan is ueber rare.

funny Del I had added that the 59- 60 383 was an RB engine, but deleted it just to keep it simple.... lol

B engines - 350, 361, 383, and 400. RB engines 413, 426 and 440

An RB engine (440) has the pad as shown circled in picture, while a B engine (383) does not have this pad. Its information is on a pad by the distributor. The pads information will give year and CID. example: "C 440" = 1967, "F 440" = 1970. There are other ways casting number etc, but the above...

gear and tire should good and should bring you through 1/4 around 6k in high hear. I used to run (440/auto) with a simple set-up - batt in trunk on right side, pinion snubber, front 90/10 and rear 50/50 shocks and the rear leaf spring clamps removed. The car hooked hard on nearly any surface.
