K member out for rebuild
All new bits and back in
408, meet your new home.
Motor in. Had to elongate the slot in the drivers engine mount a little. Transdapt adapter mounts fit ok in the end.
Dougs 453 fit ok but needed some TLC. I clearanced them at the torsion bar to get 1/4"+ up from less than 1/8". I had to grind a few casting tabs and a couple corners off the power steering pump too. Engine was in and out half a dozen times til it had enough room and sitting level. You might not have to do this but it looked too tight to me and I hate header rattles! A few dings done cold with a 1" socket wrapped in tape, coating survived.
904 in with all the goodies in it from the forums here. Thank you to those who helped with my parts list!
P.O.L. 11" kit went in nicely. Used Dr. Diff ball joint adapters on the uppers.
