Schumacher Swap Kit for a RB in a Dart
Anyone have used the Schumacher Creative Services big block swap kit? I have bought their ceramic coated Tri-Y headers, their conversion motor mounts and torque strap. I had to notch the k-member for the oil pump clearance. I had to grind some material off of the power steering gearbox. They said that the Mopar Performance aluminum valve covers are too tall and will interfere with the heater/AC blower motor. Has anyone seen this and do you know of another option rather than using stock valve covers. Mr Schumacher told me of one guy notching the valve cover and then welding it back on after flipping it around. He also told me a someone who found a GM blower that was shorter and smaller that would provide more clearance.:prayer:
