I am most concerned with the angle of the steering box mount, IF it is different ?

I found an old post by Dr. Diff, I need to find a E-body or 1971-72 B-body K member due to the steering box angle.  
Yeah the angle is different, but I've done the swap years ago with no adverse affect... The coupler is able to flex more than enough to compensate..
And 70 B & E sway bars use the same design mounting...
Hemi engine mounting is different but you can mount to a 440 K member with Schmacher brackets...

I found this pic in another old post. It is a 1970 E-body k member in a 1969 B-body. It looks like a side to side difference too. The steering shaft should be in-line with the steering box.

mmm, dunno... suposelly the front frame is the same between both. In fact the B body was the plattform to build the E body and fit bigger engines on a Pony car category

There is a 3 degree difference in the angle of the steering box,and that is the only difference. The B-body k frame will tilt the box at more upward angle. The sway bar and mounts are the exact same thing on 70 E and B bodies. If you don't tell anybody,they won't know the difference. If you are worried about the steering coupler,use a Flaming River coupler with a u joint in it.
