Next time you are looking for parts, start a wanted thread.Got some commin. Thanks
---I’m building a Cuda now to go along with my Dart and they fit perfectly as well. Little advice for you. You must use a mini starter and if your running a for speed you need to run a 130 tooth flywheel and aluminum bell housing. Any question or additional photos don’t hesitate to ask.

Appreciate the info. Going with an automatic trans and the right side shock tower has been modified. I've moved the master cylinder over but it may not be enough. I have seen an aluminum offset block and that looks to move the MC more. Any advise on that, perhaps a part number for that aluminum block?

I'm imbarrised to show under my hood after looking at this! Love the lightweight motor !!---

—-I bought an alum. adapter block off of ebay , 1/2'' thick to go to the late model dual reservoir , forgot how much it moved it over , still had to mill the back lower fin down to get the valve cover off my wedge raised port heads . Have always wondered if it would come off if it were a hemi--------I did use flex brake lines to hook up to it , in case I had to loosen it and **** it side ways , but dont .

Thanks Bob.
Someone did share who sells the aluminum block but I forgot who. Perhaps it’s on a thread, way back. I’ll check.
I do have it offset already but it’s likely not enough. I like the idea of flexible lines. Thanks.

My motor sits lower. I left 1" or so from outer tubing sticking out. My small shaft was rubbing on valve cover lightly. When I did my rack steering I slotted inner plate lower and left holes to move the colum over some more. I have room now. Still have to take master cylinder resoir off to remove rear spark plug.
It had Hookers before,now coil overs and rack & pinion steering.
Yes and motor plate. Been like that 50 years.
Another thing that many people don’t know about is the steering column needs a little modification. In stock form the column will hit the head. Hurst shorten up the housing. Little bit of a pain to do but not that bad. Take the lower bushing out of the column, cut it down (sorry but I don’t remember how much... 1 1/8”?) drill new holes for the bushings and reassemble. . I have pictures somewhere but I can not find them.
---The aluminum block is sold by Mancini Racing. It moves the master over a 1” +/-. As for the pushrod I made my own. A female hyme joint and a long grade 8 bolt that I cut the head off. Worked perfectly.
