My 6.1 retrofit thread

Hmmm, I hope you're wrong. I don't like the idea of oil lines, I'd much prefer to use the adapter. In the picture above it looks like the adapter is just touching the motor mount. It appears that you could clearance the mount and make it fit.

Also, I wonder if there is more clearance with the spool type mounts. Although my car is a '67 Dart, since it is a slant six car and I have to change the K-Member anyway, I've bought a 73-76 spool mount K-Member. So we'll see, if you have tried to make it fit with a spool mounts and found it impossible, let me know, so I don't waste my time.

Since the K-member is not in the car I plan to mock everything up on the K-member prior to install, at that point I'll have a definitive answer.

Hey joe same here
For my 1970 duster, I bought the 45 degree adapter. I have a 5.7, sandwich mounts and the tti mounts. I went to go mock it up and the adapter on the passenger side is hitting the oil filter adapter. As far as clearance between there and the k-member. I had plenty. I would have had to cut out half the adapter and notch the sandwich mount just to fit. So I'm going with the oil filter relocation route. I have heard different stories for the same models. Good luck.
