I can't tell by the photos. But in a B body Mopar you can look at the firewall where the transmission meets the engine and see the clearance is short. Sometimes you'll see after effects of a big hammer used to push the firewall back there. The big Mopars may have more space to play with in that area.

I guess you can measure from the back of the valve cover to the firewall to find what you have. Then find an original to compare. But a 318 Poly would be the original, not the LA if I recall correctly. So more arithmetic would be needed. 

If you do not care if the engine is set back 1 5/8" is there a reason why  it matters that what you have there is a 1965 or 1966 K member?

Thanks,
Gary H.
