It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt. www.MoparMisfits.com

Correct small/big block , gen3 hemi, 426 hemi All use different tabs welded on. Your options 1. Cut the tabs off use a motorplate. 2. Cut off your old brackets and Bill can send you the gen3 brackets to weld in 3. Send your k-frame back to Bill and he will weld the correct tabs on I talked to Bill about a year ago about this 2 or 3 you will need to get your k-frame repowder coated, i not sure how much he charges for option 2 or 3 Last edited by 540challenger; 12/09/12 09:29 PM.
