It had a 318 installed, but not bolted to the frame. I checked the VIN and it originally was equipped with a /6. What is the difference between a /6 and a V8 K frame for an A-body?

Nobody is repopping the K members, and a crafty guy with a welder and a sawzall can be your friend. Another way to tell a slant K from a V8 is to look at the pass side mount. The V8 is in line with the idler, the 6 is to the outside of it.
