Fantastic job on your build!
I'm curious about the K-frame. It appears stock, but did you have to modify anything for the 6.1 install...other than say motor mounts?
TTI sells motor mounts to install a 5.7 or 6.1 hemi onto a stock mopar V8 K-member.

Did you modify the transmission tunnel for the TKO 600 transmission. I know the E-body requires a section removed from the RH side of the tunnel. You might need to move the alternator so you can clear the RH frame rail. Looks great so far.

Yes, I did have to modify the trans tunnel, raised it about 1" on the top, and moved it out about 3/4" on the pass side. I did not use the Keisler supplied patch, but made my own, and butt welded it in place. Looking at the tunnel it is hard to see where it has been modified. The alternator cleared OK, with about 5/8" clearance.
