'71 Dart 6.4L swap progress being made!

Wow! It looks lovely in the engine bay!

It was tight but we were able to slide it in with the motor mounts on the most forward portion of the k-member slots. The PolyLocs were a no go because of the design. I hope that a Gen3 specific modification is released in the future because I don’t know how long these rubber mounts will last.

We’ll likely do a little massaging of the firewall just to free up some space but it should not require any cutting. Speaking of cutting, the tube on the steering shaft needed to be trimmed back as other members stated. I’ve been building off of everyone else’s experience so far.

I’m not sure if the QA1 k-member is further forward, or if it’s the slots for the motor mounts, but this was a big win.

The next terrifying thing will be installing the transmission and trying to fit the headers. Wish me luck.

I wound up trimming the outer and shift tube on my 71 Demon so I had enough valve cover clearance. Had to go with a B&M shifter which I was going to do anyways. The drivers side header needed a bunch of clearance for the torsion bar to go in which also required the lca to be completely loose from everything. I must say, your swap has turned out nice and clean!
