I am currently building a 74 duster into a drag car and am looking for ideas to what to do with my stock k member. I will most likely becutting the motor mounts off and cutting the k member and boxing it but just wanted to see any other ideas that have worked well for others. Thanks from the looks of it youve removed enough weight already!?! 5415367-image_267323.jpg (49 downloads)

Looks good, but how is the pan clear... with all this room i made a special pan. the base is flush with the bottom of the K frame & holds 10 litres which i think is 12 quarts. no running out of oil for me. engine fitment is REAL easy. 5415628-Picture1352.jpg (88 downloads)

The only purpose is to mount the stock strut rods. Why not use a tube from one side to the other with tabs for a heim-jointed strut rod ??
