I am having issues fitting my 440 and 727 into my 1968 Dodge Dart.

This is what my combo is:
Original 6 cylinder K Member
Transdapt mounts (BB to 6 cylinder k-frame)
440 with Milodon oil Pan and an external oil line
727
TTI Headers
Mini starter
Manual steering box

It appears that the motor needs to come forward after I notch not only the approximate 1" section for the oil pump, but also a large section out of the passengers side area of the k-member to clear the front passenger side of the oil pan.

But even if I do the above, it appears that one of the drivers side header tubes might prevent the 440 from going forward because the manual steering box is in the way.

Has anyone run into this issue?

Thanks!


Same issues I had and I got tired of fighting it.
Like Cab said Either elephant ears or like I did I used the Andy F plate and fenderwell headers. Best thing was it located the engine in the right place, Gave me room for my external oiling, No fighting the starter or plugs. Steering east to work on. Pulleys are not a big deal and you can run a Denso or stock type alternator with Andy's kit. Also ties the front together.Mine is race only so I took out the inner fenders.
