go over to bigblockdarts for a bunch of info.
If you can't be bothered to research these due to ADD, there is no way you can build one!
I've searched ForABodiesOnly, BigBlockDarts, GTS Registry, etc, and Googled every combonation of key words possible. I did my due diligence first. I don't expect anybody to do my research for me. 
Can't build one with A.D.D.? My friend, you don't understand A.D.D., then. It's an asset, not a disability like all these college brainwashed shrinks would have you believe.
Don't need no stinkin Ritalin.... 
AND, the reason I asked some of these questions is because I have three A-bodies I'm looking at and trying to figure out the best one to work with...
FWIW: I used to race a '67 Dart in the late sixties at N.E. Raceway. After 40 years, I CRS*
Again, Thanks to all.
*can't remember squat...

okay, then! ~600 built in 1969 (440) All auto all 8.75 hard parts are the exhaust manifolds esp. left side oil pan/pickup left motor mount bracket and block that will work radiator (I think) wheels? All this is if going STOCK. obviously, headers, mount and an oil pan isn't going to keep a rodder/racer down! There were 68-69 383s too. The B block fits better than an RB. More Bs were built too.

Power steering wasn't offered on M-Codes due to the fact that the motor mount bracket is in the way where the p/s pump would be.383's could get p/s because they used a different bracket/actually the M-Code bracket is a modified 383 piece.Also,radiator,oil pan fan,pulleys ect. are all 383 issue parts.

I guess that is where I'm confused.
Why would/did the 440 have a different left side mount than the 383?
Is this to say that if one had an original 383 Dart, swapping in a 440 would be a problem w/o modifyiing the mount?
Am I wearing out our patience yet?
