I have a 72 Satellite that was a 318 car but now I am going to swap in a 383 from a 71 Satellite parts car. Do I need to swap the k memeber from the 71 383 car or will the 383 bolt up correctly to the 318 k memeber that is in the 72? I know that they make adapter mounts for all sorts of combos but if the 72 318 k memeber will not bolt up correctly I would rather just swap the entire k member from the 71 383 car. Thanks for the help! Steve

No need to swap the K member. Just use the correct motor mounts.

Don't forget to upgrade your torsion bars as well. Your also going to need a shorter driveshaft, a big block radiater and you will also need to mke some minor changes to the wiring harnes (big block distributor is in the front as opposed to the small block being in the rear.
