Hey, i was wondering if i can keep the K frame in my 66 plymouth valiant when i put a 318 in it. some people told me that in 66 the /6 and v8 k frame was the same?? just curious if anybody else had this problem? and is there a kit to buy to get the block mounts, motor mounts, throttle cable, etc? Thanks

The kframe is the same as are the insulators. need a set of 64-66 273 V8 mtr mts(which usually are sold w the insulators as they are common). 66's used the cable throttle as did(I think) some 65's & the 64's I believe use the old rod style that rotated to open the carb.

'65 was the last year for the slant six center link, in '66, all used the V8 style.
Both cable and rod linkage was used in '66 on the slant six, 170s still had the early rod linkage, most (if not all) 225s had the new cable linkage.
My '66 had the rod style linkage with a 225. I do not have a clue if the 225 was original or not.
My 66 Barracuda had the rod style linkage with a 225. Engine and linkage were original. Car was built in Hamtramck June 6, 1966.
