1969 Swinger 340

A little bit of progress on the Dart, I modified the steering column to clear the head, and fitted the exhaust manifolds. The coupler on the steering box had to be trimmed to clear, and I will be using solid mounts to try and keep the engine off of the steering. I trimmed the tti mount to fit the 45 degree adaptor for the oil filter. I went through the wix filter book and found that a chevy truck oil filter has approximately the same gasket dimension with the same thread, but the OD is a lot smaller to give more clearance. I only had to clearance the k member a little to clear the oil filter, I will weld a depression in it the next time I pull the engine. This hemi is a really tight fit, especially when I am too cheap to buy the tti headers!
