SO! BLUE-TOO 1 us 0!!! The donor 74 fury K car dimension from welded motor mount bracket on K frame to cross member is approx. 1.5 inches shorter than the 77 Monaco. Seems the 440 motor is 1.5 to 1.75 inch too far forward in the Monaco so trans mount , shift cross rod and driveshaft are not right. Anyone have a work around? Are 77 Monaco 440 mounts to motor different than 74 440 Fury? If not, will have to blow it back apart and cut/weld new frame mounts. Thanks Phish

Were both cars big-block cars? The offset on the motormount perches are different small-block vs big block. When I dropped the 440 into my originally-360 76 GF I used the Schumacher conversion mounts. They require a little trimming, but come with good instructions.

Different sub-frames from small block to big block.

Yep, the Monaco was a small block car. I have a Schumacher kit on the way. Pull motor out and try again. Thanks
