Modifications completed - I now have a k_member that'll hold my Hemi ! ! !
The modifications are completed by the fabricator and the K-member is now ready to have the Hemi bolted in . . .
So the basics of the mods are as follows . . . first, he designed a very elegant way to hold the motor mounts with a single jig
( initially he thought he'd have to build 2 jigs to make the mods he needed . . . )
Bolted the motor mounts to the engine, and built the jig to support them.
Then we he was happy with the fit, placement, plumb, and level of the motor mounts, he unbolted the motor mounts . . .
Then it was time to start cutting the old bosses off the Magnum Force Transformer . . . this was hard to watch . . .
One of the bosses has been successfully removed from the k-member . . .
Both bosses have been removed from the k-member . . . there's no turning back now . . .
Now here's the really neat part of this . . . he used the jig to position the new bosses onto the k-member ( they'll be plumb, level, and true ! )
Additional changes:
The original bolts were 7/16", not 3/8" and he decided to keep them, since he had to cut off the original bosses, he made new ones with 7/16" holes in them to better hold and support the motor mounts in the K-member.
Everything is back home now and ready to go into the car . . . I'm so excited . . . I'll be getting it in as soon as possible . . .
The fabricators work was
TOP NOTCH - I'll be using him again if I ever need anything else done . . .
How could I forget the finished product . . .
Still need to get it re-powder coated . . . but for now, get the hemi in the car and get the tunnel hump figured out ! ! !
