66 and up B Body. Given that is the type K member I am using I would have expected the relationship between the motor, and steering box to be OK. I suspect the Edelbrock heads may be wider than stock and be causing the problem.

A manual steering box might ... but I am pretty invested in keeping the Borgeson quick ratio power steering. Would really mess up my belt system, not needing a power steering pump.

Before I take a large hammer to my new headers, I am hoping someone out there may have the same combo as me and guide me on if there is a way to make my headers fit without 'modification'. I have a 63 440 Dodge. I am using a QA-1 k member so it sets the engine back like fitting a 66 k member...

May want to give Jo'berg a miss. It used to be a great city to visit. Can be very dangerous now. Head to Cape Town or Zimbabwe.

Mike's placement of the gear vendor tailshaft is exactly where mine is, with the trans mount holes essentially in the center of the cross member. I have fitted the later mount and made a cardboard template. Next up is a 3d print to make sure the fit is good before I make the steel version. I...

As you decide on which engine combo to go with, design with your use in mind. The 400 with good internals starts as a motor that will rev well for its size. Stroke it all the way to 512 and you may loose some of that .. may not matter if its mostly a street car. Also look at where the rings...

Probably posting too late on this. QA-1 did not used to make a k member for the 62-65 cars. I have a '66 tubular K member I had to modify with mounts in the stock location. After that, I have installed the 66 style to set my motor back the extra 1.5 " ... in my mind the kit saves weight, gave...

What they said. Go with the 440. You can go with a Ramchargers look or whatever you think looks cool!

... and Deep Purple in the 8 track!

Awesome! Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, I am going to copy your design. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!

Hi Mike, Just seeing the cross member you made. Looks very similar to what I have to do. Can you let me know what car and what k member you are using? I have a 63 Dodge, with a 66 k member 440/727 and gear vendors. Just looking at options as the stoch cross member will not work at all.

I went down the path of using a 66 and up (QA-1) k member in my 63 440. For me, the benefits (besides weight distribution) were easy fitment of an anti roll bar, additional clearance around the motor and room for my oversized radiator, fans and serpentine belt. As others have mentioned this is...

Covid definitely impacted SMS. I had just ordered refurbished door cards for my 440 wagon when Covid hit. I know they had to shut down for quite a time. My two year wait does not seem so bad listening to the stories above. While I was nervous as to if I would ever see my door cards again...

Belvedere looked awesome!

Love the green Plymouth!

And Successfully Driven By The Great Jim Thornton! Not forgetting Al Eckstrand's Lawman wagon!

Agree with you about the 63. Mine moving house. A few months and it will be back on the road.

Hi there, yes 63 was the first year for the Park function on a 727 so it does have a separate level for this. My Dodge is a 63 440 but it should be the same on a 330 or Polara. My friend got back to me and agreed that the round button shift mechanism was from an A body. May have been driven...

I think the 63/4 A body Valiant or Barracuda seems closest. Maybe Bristol just rotated the shift assemble. I have a friend who used to restore Bristols. I can ask him to see if he has any ideas.

My 63 Dodge has horizontal ones. They look similar.
