70 Satellite -> Roadrunner clone/tribute

Got a 70 satellite with the slant 6, want to drop a bigblock into it and do up a pseudo roadrunner.

I have a 74 Nieuport in the boneyard, will the K frame swap into the satellite?

Sorry,
The two cars use vastly different frame structures. The Plymouth shares the suspension, steering and engine mounting design with the Road Runner, GTX, Dodge Charger and Coronet body styles.
The Newport is a C body Chrysler. The engine and mounting brackets fit, its just the engine crossmember (K member) that is specific to each body line.( A, B, C, E body)

You can get motor mounts to adapt the 440 to your 6 cyl K frame. Motor and trans will fit.

What the heck was I thinking....
You got me there. I should have just stuck with..."each body line has its own K member designs EXCEPT C bodies. They utilized a bolt-in subframe structure.

I like "Bolt-ons" as long as they feel like OEM stock ones....
