The pass side header is hitting the inner fender and still needs to drop ahalf inch in the mount, anyone have any go rounds with a simular set up?????? thanks They can be tricky those spool mounts, like mentioned, install the bolts but leave them loose, it'll make it easier to monipulate the mounts in the sockets, sometimes they are tight & you need to give them alittle help. The header should not be hitting the inner fender even if its still 1/2" up on the mount i wouldn't think, Was this the shuamacker kit & useing a 6cyl. k-member? If so, did you follow the instructions & drill the holes on the DS along with cutting the DS corner on the k-member to clear the oil pump. 75 Duster, 451 10.87 @ 123.58 NA 97 Z28 6sp., 12.01 @ 115 on a 100 shot 71 Swinger. 360 magnum. 12.58 @ 105 78 cutlass, 469 BBC. 12.70 @ 108 on street tires. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2kqNmMfheU

IIRC, the engine mounts on the K member have different heights. On a V8 K, they are the same height. Gone to the dark side with an LS3 powered '57 Chevy 210

Can you post a picture of your K member? if so maybe someone on here can tell from your picture if it is a six or V8 K member The BB adapter mounts are way different from the six to the V8 K members I hear I have not had a 1973 and later A body with a slant six so I don't have hands on experience on them but I have had the 1972 and earlier A bodys with both six and V8 motors, noticeable differences between the two K members Its a lot easeir to figure out a problem when you know what your working with I like and use either a front motor plate or a set of elephant ears to mount BB in A bodys Way easier What oil pan are you using and have you check to see if it is hitting the steering crossover bar Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

You need to go back to the drawing board & find out what your working with for the K-member, you most likely have the wrong mounts too. 75 Duster, 451 10.87 @ 123.58 NA 97 Z28 6sp., 12.01 @ 115 on a 100 shot 71 Swinger. 360 magnum. 12.58 @ 105 78 cutlass, 469 BBC. 12.70 @ 108 on street tires. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2kqNmMfheU
