I used a QA1 K-member on my 1965 dodge coronet. It sets the engine back about an inch and a half. So you will have to massage the trans tunnel as the tranny will hit. The tranny dip stick tube will not fit as it will hit the tranny tunnel. I don't know where your heater hoses hook up, but mine...
Watermelon,
Good idea on the square tubing for a spacer and the Velcro for keeping it quiet. I will probably do something similar on my 1965 coronet.
Thanks for the idea.

Looks really nice. How wide will the tires and wheels be on the back? Are you going to put the torque boxes in? They are supposed to help stiffen the car too.
Call Dwayne Porter at Porterracing. He can spec out what you need cam wise and supply cam, lifters, etc. Tell him what you want and he will tell you what you need. Lots of Moparts guys have done business with him and my son bought an intake for his indy headed 508 cu in motor. you will be happy...
Use the 1965 k-member. It's a lot easier swap. We used a QA1 cross member in my 65 Coronet and it required a lot hammering on the tranny tunnel. Came out nice, but a lot of labor. tranny mount was modified to pick up the Schumacher mount. We are using a latter model torqueflight. You may need a...
What back spacing do you have on your wheels? I was thinking of getting 15X8 with a 4.5" back spacing for my 1965 coronet. Any clearance problems in any areas other than the brakes which are ok?
Thanks
My son and I have had good luck with Marsh Performance. Todd Marsh is a good guy to deal with. My son got a stroker setup with an eage crank, rods and pistons. All checked out perfect. http://www.mopartsracing.com/tmc/

PT,
Nice to see one of those pumps put in a tank. I was trying to figure out if any of the lines went into the inside of the car from the way you described the routing. I am thinking not, but wanted to be sure. I know people put fuel cells in their trunks all the time. I am going to have a...
I have one of those phantom pumps and have been trying to figure out the best fuel lines to use without breaking the bank or using materials that aren't up to the job. After much research I decided to use braided steel lines with PTFE coating on/in the Teflon lining. PTFE cuts out the static...
440 source has brakets and hardware, fan belt etc for adding a power steering pump. There are a number of other companies that make fancier brackets etc which cost a little more. You might consider a Borgseen power steering box. They give more of a rack and pinion feel to the steering. If you...
Yes, that was what I was saying. Maybe it got lost in all my ramblings.
I contacted DR Diff and here is what he had to say in his e-mail reply.
"Hi Bruce,
52.25" is the narrowest housing I recommend for 44" spring perch dimension.
Otherwise, the brake backing plates may hit the...
Does any one know how much you can narrow the rear end and still use the stock spring locations and not cut the wheel wheels.
This would make it easier to get a bigger tire on car, and I would like to put the largest tire on that won't rub. I am sure there are some differences in the actual size...
Really beautiful engine compartment. I did notice that you have your center steering link on with the off set facing forward in the picture with the QA1 parts installed.
I believe it should go the same way as the first picture with the stock cross member. Don't know if you noticed it yet.
Your...
