Yes. But you have to use the 67-72 sway bar that does not go through the K-member.

Or would it be better to stick with the 73+ K frame?


To me the advantage of the 73+ is narrower sway bar to allow high backspace rims and the safety and durability of the spool motor mounts. They do make locking biscuit motor mounts so that negates much of that benefit. If you are only running 4.25” backspace rims with 245 wide or less tires, the backspace deal might not be an issue.

Disadvantage of 73+ is it fits much tighter around the Milodon Road Race oil pan.


I just got the 340 K frame and already have the 73+ spool style, so I can use either one. I plan to add the steering box reinforcements to whichever would work best. I have 11/16 tie rods and the 73 spindles & ball joints.
