I have a 67 fish parts car that had a 318. I also have a 71 Demon that was a drag car which had a BB and used motorplates to mount it. I want to put a SB into the Demon so I pulled out the K frame from the 67 fish so I would have the motor mounts.

The first difference I noticed is the 67 only has a lower tab to mount the idler arm and the arm mounts on the bottom of the tab, vs a double shear arrangement on my 68 fish and the 71 Dempon that has a box which holds the idler arm between the top and bottom in double shear.

Is the 67 version adequate for drag use? The car will hopefully do little wheelies on launch. The car has the inner fenders removed and a bar supports the frame to the firewall and the upper shock mount is supported by the bar.

Are there any other things to consider? Will I just have to use the 67 idler arm or any other steering parts need to be converted? Does anybody make a kit to weld on an upper tab so the later idler arm can be used?
