The 1/2 spacers lowered the k-frame and the engine compartment... I think they used the hemi pan and just the way the hemi mounted to the k-frame raised the crank center which in turn raised the pan away from the steering linkage.



Ok, something had to change. If a big block B-body 440 pan won't fit a big block A-body, then a hemi pan shouldn't fit either unless the motor was moved up.

There are sure a lot of little tricks on those things. Next time someone sees Bob Tarozzi, thank him for figuring it out.
