I have a tko 600 kit and have none of the problems you have. Was yours an auto or 4 speed before? Did you buy the kit new from Keisler?




4 speed. Got the kit new from keisler

motor mounts are in the correct place k-frame is not a 70 k-frame.

I ended up doing some cutting



Crossmember raised up and welded back together. I used 1/4" plate to reinforce it.


now look at how nice the headers fit. Just like they used to
before I installed the 5 speed.


next I will fabricate the new tunnel. Hopfully I'll have pics of this soon.

Mike why would a 70 B body K frame make a difference , it's the same K used in 69 starting sometime in March of 69?

I'm having a hard time believing that others don't have this issue with the Kielser install.

69, have you confirmed that your driveshaft angles are correct now? Nice work , can't wait to see the finished floor tunnel.

So how much did you raise the rear of the tranny? I used a 1" spacer on my Challenger and still have clearance to the crossmember.

One thing I noticed little changes in engine position makes a big difference.

The tranny is raised up to the factory position of the old 4 speed. I think I have about 2" of spacers from keisler inbetween the tranny and the mounting braket.
