I know you have to do it on an 68 A body. Is it also required on a 65 B body? I have a 65 Bel II with the inner fender and firewall work done. That just may be a deal breaker for me if so.

The bump under the shock hole has to be moved away from engine, slice the hole area then flip. You also have to clip the front upper a-arm area, leave a hole there.I'll try to find a pic Here

I did not invert the shock tower when I put the 528 in my 64 Sport Fury. The valve cover is very close to the shock stud but I have a tie down on the engine to keep it from rocking so it is not a big deal.

You gotta remember that engineers are an anal lot, they set clearance standards and won't deviate from them. I've seen a lot of GEN 2 Hemis in early B's with no engine compartment mods.
