i will be using the original k member and considering making my own mounting plates. what is the height/distance of the crank bolt to the top of the k frame

thanks
 
Are you thinking of a motor plate or a motor mount? Because once you stuff the motor in there you will find out really fast that there is no room to fab a motor mount.
 
Let me know what measurements your wanting and nexttime I am near my car (nov 12) I'll take measurements for you. I have the factory k member and RTI mounts

hey thanks i appreciate that. i don't have an oil pan yet. so i need a measurement lets say from the block to pan mounting face to the k frame. this way i can set her in at the right height to eliminate any clearance issues later

thanks
 
i found it



Gen 3 Hemi Crate Engines (5.7L, 6.1L, 6.4L) / 62-65 B-body applications with spool mounts: From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 6-3/8" (to be determined). The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side. Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail, the difference should be 2-1/2" (to be determined).



63-66 "A"-body applications: From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 4-3/4”. The engine is also offset 5/8" towards the passenger-side. Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail, the difference should be 1-1/4”.

62-65 "B"-body applications: From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 5-1/4”. The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side. Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail. The difference should be 3”.

67-76 "A"-body / 66-74 "B"-body / 70-74 "E"-body applications: From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 5-1/4”. The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side. Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail. The difference should be 2-1/2”.

65-73 "C"-body applications: From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 5-1/4”. The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side. Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail. The difference should be 3-1/2”.
gines (5.7L, 6.1L, 6.4L) / 67-76 A-body / 66-74 B-body / 70-74 E-body applications: From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 5-5/8” for A-bodies (5-7/8” with spool mounts) and 5-3/8” for B&E-bodies (6” with spool mounts). The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side. Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail, the difference should be 3-1/4” for A-bodies (2-3/8” with spool mounts) and 2-1/2” for B&E-bodies
 
Sweet deal. Glad you found it. Did you get that from tti? Now that you posted that I remember seeing something similar on Thier site.
 
the measurements are to make the headers fit in the engine room and with the torsion bars. I did use them but ended up with mounting the headers and cut the mounts in its pieces, make everything fit and welded them together again. For me there was no other option. No idea why. I tried more then 2 weeks on any other way than cutting. But it works and I have now 2000miles (a lot fast lane Autobahn ;-) ) w/o any probs or vibrations.
