Need to get out to the shop and remove a bracket
Last night I had the MagnumForce front suspension out in the shop and found out that I've got a couple of brackets on the front of the car that I'll need to remove to allow the suspension to sit flush against the frame rails . . .
Here's what I found out . . . these (2) brackets on the front frame . . .
The one on the right has a portion of it that rolls under the frame and will have to be removed . . .
This ought to be a whole lotta fun ! ! !
I've had that idea, plus the option of shaving a little off the bottom to accommodate the bracket thickness . . . but until i get the engine in the front K-member and in the car - I'm only guessing . . .
I'm hoping that I'll be able to modify the brackets to allow the A/C to stay in that location - notice, being a car 5.7L hemi, the accessories are all in different locations then the truck version ! !
I'm sure I'll get something figured out - got a long weekend ahead of me and a goal to have the engine in the car this weekend and the tunnel hump figured out !
Evening Shop Session
Need to get these brackets off if I'm going to make my goal to get the Hemi in the Belvedere this weekend . . . so off to the shop I went . . .
Since I've got more room on the driver side of the car now, I attacked the driver side bracket first . . . and an hour later ( had to weld some mess ups ) . . .
OH . . . and walking back from lunch this afternoon I stumbled on this little beauty . . . and it was for sale too . . .
67 - Had a 350 / Auto and sounded really good ! ! Got my hands full with my Belvedere . . . so I drooled all over it and left . . . ( he got a free car wash ! )

Can you just add spacers to the other A/C mounts and mount it on top of your motor mount?
