TTI spool mounts vs AC compressor
I finally got a little time to make everything live together in my Duster! I had to cut the drivers side saddle off the k frame, and move it back. I started out by taking the AC compressor off, and laying it aside. I then mounted the motor in the car using the TTI spool mounts that came with my headers. When I bought the stuff from TTI, Sam was right up front with telling me the AC compressor on a 5.7 Hemi that came out of a car wasn't going to be a bolt in. I dropped the motor into the car with a dummy 727 to get everything located where it's supposed to be. I stood under the car and did a lot of head scratching, and came up with a solution. I made a temporary support, and welded it to the k frame under the drivers side front corner of the oil pan. I used a paint paddle and strip of metal to keep from dinging my Moroso pan. Then I cut the old saddle off the k frame, and cut the drivers side mount I got from TTI apart. I did a little trimming to the 2 rear mounts of the AC compressor, and mounted it back on the motor. Then I installed the drivers side header, and came up with this motor mount for the drivers side.
