I have an original 68 big block biscuit type k-frame and I also have a late A-body spool type small block k-frame. Would you use the original big block k-frame or the spool mount small block frame with Schmacher small block to big block mounts? I am leaning toward the small block frame with Schumacher mounts at the moment.

You will have to mod the spool K for the Schumacher mounts anyway. All you will need to buy is a pair of 74-78 pass car big block mounts (probably $50).

By the time you get done cutting the driver side saddle of and driling a new hole, thus making installation of the engine more difficult since it will not just drop into the slot anymore you haven't saved yourself any time.....

Sell your original BB kmember(they're gold) especially since you're doing a conversion & not an original BB A body) & use the spool SB k member w aftermarket mounts. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
