What about a front motor plate?
Is anyone making one that works with the front cover? There was a discussion on FABO about this, I don't recall the outcome. Maybe do a search over there.

72Swinger, looks great! Thanks for the pics! Is your mount an upper link mount off a solid axle, like a Jeep or Superduty front axle of some sort?

OK....Of I read you wrong then I apologise...I treat these posts as a general cautionary dialogue....not blanket assumptions.....
.........but for clarification...
There is no 'maybe' about our K frames....they were imported directly from the US along with the small block V8s from 1962 to 1980.
Thats the reason our steering box is on the frame...They didnt bother re- stamping the cross members....all the room is on your driver side.
Im not sure the motor positioning why these TTI adapters are not a a problem with a B Body.....again that seems to be a factor.
All I can say is we had to take 1/2" out of the height of the US Drivers side adapter to achieve a decent pinion angle and " straighten" the motor....the height of the left side adapter crushed the top rear of the motor against the firewall and angled the motor across the engine bay.
Re- the headers...Most seem to have clearance issues .......So TTI will have to wear that one on the chin.
Seems RTV was the issue with the milodon pan....so your pics will save some heartache!

After 2 years of abuse by 1000-1100 RWHP worth of boost and spray, the stock main caps may show some weakness.....

Avoid Total Seal rings on a 4.065 bore.
Can I ask for more info here? I believe I have Total Seal rings in mine, pretty close to the same bore as well. Don't have any issues to my knowledge in a forced induction motor, about 660 at the tire (so a mild build by many peoples standards). I was going more for longevity than HP.

FelPro work well, as do Cometic. I'm told.....
part numbers please
Cometic C5197
Mopar Perf 5153758
Fel Pro MS96916
The Fel Pro looks a lot like the factory gasket with rubber o ring style lips - not sure Id trust it on a non- oem intake.

After reading this post why would anyone build a performance 5.7...?? just to have a HEMI??
1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..
A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..
If you love someone set them free..
If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

Because they are readily available and can be easily modified to handle big power.

It sounds as it comes with a high price from broken or inferior parts...I hope its worth the trouble and expense...badazz car by the way!!!!

It sucks that the aftermarket hasn't offered an affordable "Gen III Hemi color by numbers" kit to the public. Im gonna get mine figured out and not look back.
