DOES THE HDK SUSPENSION K-MEMBER HANDLE BETTER THAN A T-BAR SUSPENSION?

A couple of quick questions .

Does the 5.7 hemi sit in the factory location with the HDK system or is it moved further forward or back from the original v-8 engine position ?

Did you have to modify the lower front fenders for tire clearance using 235's ?

Thanks.

Denny's mounts allow for adjustment, I don't recall how much. Maybe an inch. I initially had them on the engine so it would be as far back as possible. That proved to be too far back for me. I have my main engine harness connector on the firewall and it was just too close to work. It also put the valve cover very close to my already trimmed steering column tube. I'm sure other applications, the rear most position would work fine. I feel like I have it very close to where the small block was. I didn't take any of those measurements to confirm.

The front of the inside of the fender is trimmed. It's the part that folds under near the rod that goes to the bumper bracket. I just cut it on a 45. Hardly even noticeable. I also rolled the fender lips slightly. Keep in mind, with the HDK, track width has a ton of adjustment. I'll be widening my wheels and switching to either 265s or 275s soon.

I did "adjust" the K slightly to move the lower control arm forward. I did this to keep the tire off the rear side of the fender due to the amount of caster I'm running.
