Update on My 64 Dart project

As some of you that have been following this thread know I test fitted the engine and found that I need to modify the K member in order for the engine to fit with the Milodon pan. I also modified the trans tunnel to allow for more wiggle room when installing the engine using both the 340 bell as well as the scattershield which I'll most likely go to for safety sake. I trailered the car over to my buddy Fran shop on Monday where he will do the modifacation. We'll leave the K member attached to the body since that makes the perfect jig and reduces the risk of warpage. I still need to do some grinding on the tranny crossmember in order for it to fit. I'll try and get some pics this evening of the progress on the K member.

I finally got the car back to the shop on Saturday. It was raining quite a bit so I din't get a chance to get some pics until today. As you can see by the pics I gained quite a bit of room so that the deep sump on the Milodon pan will clear when installing the motor. Also cleaned up the tunnel a but. You can see where the tunnel was clearance to allow wiggle room while installing the motor
