Just an out of the blue question. Do any other k members fit the j body. Just wondering before I get to that point and start cutting up the small block k member.

Do you mean like the almighty Slant-Six leaning-power-o'-tower???
Yes, that K-frame would fit, if you want to run a V8 you'd need a set of engine mount adapters though.

F/M/J all use the same k-member, if that's what you meant(?)

I have the small block k member but going big block. Was wondering if other k members would work. I was at a family gathering and the thought went through my head.

That I know, just wondering if any other body k frames fit or any aftermarket engine cradles would work.

Yup, in that case you can use the very same K-frame, but you need to score a set of the Schumacher () conversion mounts.
Strangely enough (to me anyways, after all who'd want to build a big block when you can put together a pretty stout stroker small block..."ohhh noo...he just pulled the pin on that thing"), the /6 to SB conversion mounts rarely pop up, while the SB to BB stuff shows up here and there!

I’m going to big block. So any 73+ big block k member would fit? Sorry for asking just confused on what you said. Thank you

He was referring to the conversion mounts.
Only an F/M/J k-frame will fit your car.

I have a set of Schumacher Small Bock to Big Block conversion mounts for our cars. Schumacher is currently sold out of them but, I’m sure they’ll be available again.
They seem to be rotating their product production runs in small batches so, keep an eye out on their website. They’ll sell out pretty quick these days.
