I had one as a 440/727 for nearly 25 years. I just recently sold it.
It can be done, and can be fun; but with all the stroker small block possibilities available today, why would you?
The extra expense to put a BB in, can be applied to a lighter SB combination.
Too many cars, too many parts, too little coin, too little space to work in, too little time left to make it all happen!
Update: down to one ride, still too many parts, a little more jingle in the pocket, gaining space, and it's going to happen this year!

You should be able to use the stock K member and then the Schumacher motor mounts to install it in a Volare/Aspen.
I know the K-member/torsion bars are different from the 67-76 A-body.
My 74 Duster has a old MP K-member with spool mounts for my 383/727 combo.

I am interested in building a Big Block Volare/Aspen with a 727. Does anyone have any specs on the engine mounts, headers and rearend that you have used?
If you want to keep it cheap just move the k-frame engine mount brackets rearward just like they did on the DC A-body big block k-frame and use the '73-up bb spool type mounts(B or C body). This works if you are starting with a small block car, will take more work with a /6 k frame. I think B/E body header should fit without too many problems.

I have done this twice and I used the stock 400 spool type mounts to perch my 452 low deck stroker into place with zero and I mean zero mods. I used 1 3/4 headers for B/E/C/ body (all of em) ZERO issues. In fact it was so easy and such a nice sleeper I would like to do it again and run in the 9's with the engine I have now--700+hp 470 low deck. J.Rob
