Gen III's dont lend themselves well to any early K member IMO. If you can weld, cut the towers off the K member and make towers that line up to the Gen III so you can use the stock oil filter in the stock location and the a/c compressor as well. So much better to just reconfigure the K member to suit the engine rather than the other way around.
Mopar to the bone!!!

Good info, I appreciate the feedback. I'm not in a hurry, might be 2 years before I do the conversion. I'll hold out on buying mounts, might be other options available by that time.
Saving $40 on free shipping now may not pay off in long run. I guarantee that in 2 years those mounts will either not be available or substantially more expensive.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Quick update on the Schumacher mounts. They are still doing great but I noticed that the driver side bolt that goes through the polyurethane bushing had loosened up over time due to vibration and slid back, luckily it stopped at the header and didn't fall off. My fault for not checking periodically. I had last checked it last year and never since but will now make it another routine check before going on a track day. Good news is that the bolt is long enough that one can easily add a metal lock nut to prevent this issue. I'm also going to call Schumacher an notify them of my findings
