small block to big block

Easier is in where you define it. It's easier on my wallet to pay $20 for a k-member and $10 for mounts (maybe a little more now with inflation) and a little more for weld wire and cutoff wheels. That's where I ALWAYS look for easier, on my finances......... Plus, building a DC k-member doesn't take that much time. I'm still pulling the k-member for a dip in my hot tank so that's the same amount of work.
