Do Challengers have different types of K members?

I just pulled my 318 out yesterday, and I'm wondering if I'll need a different K member for a 440.

any v-8 will work  exception is the /6

It will work, but if you want it to look correct, it will need a skid plate welded on to it. All RB block cars got skid plates, due to the extra weight of the RB blocks. FYI, Hemis have a diff K member than all other V-8's.

there wee 4 K members
- slant 6
- V8
-V8 with skid plate for 6 qt pan
- Hemi
all V8s will bolt to either V8 K member , & there were some differences to the left engine mount in the later years 72 up

I've had several 440 cars that did not come with the skid plate.  My 440+6 cars do have the skid plate for the larger capacity oil pan.

what type body?

[Challenger6pak]

Ebody.  I only remember the skid plate on the 6 pack cars.  I say remember and I have been wrong.  I can look it up in the parts books tomorrow.

I have a 70 parts book also...I remember having a 70 440-4 Challenger R/T ragtop with the skid plate. All 70-71 HP 440's (no diff between 6bbl and 4 bbls)have the 6 qt pan (part # 2951564) that they share with the hemis. Same pan for B and E bodies. So if the reason is the 6 qt pan, then they all should have skid plates.

It would not surprise me if a 440 car was built without a skid pan K member, if the car came down the line, and there were no skid plate K's available, they'd use a standard K and move it down the line.

I looked it up also.  I agree.

As with all these Mopars from back then, you can never tell what they came with or how they were built. They had no idea they were building future collectable cars in 1970.
