Does a Big Block E body need a different K member or ??

Going from a 383 to a Hemi, what is needed?

You need a Hemi K Frame. Contact Mega Parts. OR I think Schumacher may make adaptor mounts

Schumacher has mount just for this swap. They are quality parts,  but I WARN you........ The HEMI dipstick tube needs to be reconfigured... yes it can be done, but can be a time consuming process. I had a thread on this somewhere here maybe 2-3 years back.....

I recently looked at a '71 Chally that had a Hemi swapped in (it was an original 318 car). The guy used Schumacher mounts and the engine bolted directly to the K-member with them no problem. He had stock Hemi exhaust manifolds and I don't remember him mentioning anything about the dipstick. However, if you have problems with the dipstick as BIGSHCLUNK mentioned, Schumacher does have an alternate dipstick that is suppose to work with their mounts. Here's a link to their website... http://www.engine-swaps.com/Pages/ProductsYear/70.74eBody.html

Milodon has a flexable dipstick that works great as well . The Schumaker mounts work great with the existing K frame BTW .

when I first did my Schumacher swap I used the Milodon.... all good. But when I did my level 3 steering box I had to remove it. Think I could get the correct bend back in it...............................         After a week of jerking around I bought a new tube and spent 3 nights plaing with that. This being said the Milodon did work but did resemble a corkscrew.

I had the same problem when I put a Hemi in my 68 Dart BUT when we put the Hemi in the Demon....all fit well the first time.
