Ed Debevec's (715-267-7141) has complete pre fabbed A-body K-members. Mega Parts might have them to, but not listed on website. Then use the new A-body TTI headers. This is much easier and cheaper to do now that ever. Once TTI stepped up to the plate and made headers, then the K-member guys can make K-members to fit.

Once you get the engine in there are a few things that you should do to make things clear. Steering column tube needs to be shortened by a couple inches so it clears the head. I don't remember the exact amount but you can see in the pictures the amount is no more than a few inches. Here is a shot before....

Brake system....You need an offset the master cylinder to make room for the valve cover. I used the bracket that you can get through either Mancini Racing or any Mopar Performance dealer. I made the lines myself saving a few bucks along the way.
