What alternatives to using a K frame?

FYI...

the bottom of the HDK steering crossbar is 1.75" below the radiator support. The brackets for the rack and pinion mounts are 1.25" below the steering crossbar.

cost??

HDK fabricated pieces.. (and yes, you have to add brakes).....$1900.00
related suspension components needed ........................appx $1125.00
HDK/Schumaker spool mounts..............................................$ 159.00

sub total...............$3184.00

options (other than component choices)
Addco sway bar....................................................................$ 150.00
powder coat ALL fabricated pieces..........................................$ 295.00

NOW the same K will work with any of your popular Mopar powerplants....318, 340/360, 383/440 (B/RB), and the new gen Hemi simply by changing out the HDK/ Schumaker spool mounts ($159 a set / all models)
.
The new gen Hemi mounts work will mount a 6.1 with all the factory components in their stock location (alternator/A/C compressor) including factory Jeep exhaust manifolds. A stock Jeep oil pan will work with no modification, however because of its rear sump extending forward, the optional rear brace cannot be used. The Milodon #31000 center sump works well for incorporating the additional brace. This install does require the oil filter point straight down and not at an angle like some applications (Jeep)
