Tech Question

Steve Kennedy, Lake Charles, LA, 1965 Plymouth Belvedere 426W

Rick - I just purchased a `65 Belvedere that originally came with a 318 poly engine. I plan to install a 426W or 440 block and heard that I need to change out the K-frame to a big block frame. Is this so? The Chrysler parts book for `65 only lists one part number for the K-frame but I'd think that the engine dimensions are significantly different between the SB and BB engines. Thanks, Steve

Bolts in, no swap needed. Only Hemis and Slant Sixes used different K-members. This was true of virtually all B-bodies thru 1972.
