Keisler 5-speed conversion on Early A-body: Install has begun

Hi Dave,
I like your idea of assembling everything to the K Frame and then dropping the car over the assembled k-frame. I was at Moshers shop in Monrovia, and that is how they do their RB Blocks in the 62 to 65 B bodies. Mosher said that it was much easier to set everything up that way where you have access to it all, and it keeps the paint from getting damaged during the "installation".

About a third way down the page, you will see the 62 Savoy up in the air ready to be dropped over the cross ram 413. Surfing around his site, you should see a few more pictures of this process. To me, it looks like he is bolting the jig used to lift the chassis to the bumper mounting bolts on the front of the frame.

Lastly...your neighbors will think you are building a funny car with a flopper body when they see it all jacked up in the air...Fire up the 340 with open headers a few times and their suspicion will be confirmed... :headbang:

Let me know if you need help with this.

Thanks
