The mid plate will accept SB bell. The R5 engine does not have the stock mopar bell pattern. The crank spacer will work for fly wheel or flex plate. I made my spacer with the chevy bolt pattern, then used the spacer as a fixture to drill the flywheel...  These engine are right around 12:1 from the shops, probably not a good idea to boost them the way they are....

They dont have to be a front steer .I know this for a fact. We bought three of these engines from Chip Ganassi. We put one in a Duster. We had a chassis shop relocate the factory steering box rearward a bit and he re-fabbed the drag-link and whatnot to make it work, but it does not have a rack and pinion. It has the factory steering box and it all cleared fine,although, it may possibly be cheaper to put a rack and pinion in.
These are neat engines and we make adapters where I work as well. We have even sold one to a Moparts member !

Do you have any pics of the car?
You must have had to chop the K frame though, when I set my R5 in there was no way it was gonna sit down far enough without removing the some of the K frame or moving the engine way back...

It can be done "RIGHT " by trimming the factory k-member a good bit and moving the steering box rearward ( and a few other things...I cant say exactly because I dont know exactly...I'm not a chassis man ).
Of course the aftermarket k-member would be super nice as well. Kinda like baking cakes....lots of different recipes and lots of good cakes !
