Big Block duster

The Schumacher mounts for the late V8 k-member are NOT a bolt on and go deal. They require cutting the mount saddle shorter on the driver side and drilling a new 1/2" hole...Making a DC k-member is only slightly more cutting and no drilling. Yes, you need to weld it back up, but that's the easy part...

I had major issues with mine on the SB-BB mounts. I really wasn't happy with the mount after the cutting was done. Thank god with the torque strap. I'm currently swapping the QA1 K-memeber which i'm told requires no modification to utilize the conversion mounts.

Read the tech page on building a DC k-member. It is a much better solution for several reasons (my opinion and the opinion of anybody who has built one).

They can be made to stop and handle. Check out the vids (the first one is my son's 383/4sp Barracuda, the second one is the first half of the DC k-member video):

Everyone here on FABO knows that big blocks are too heavy to handle, stop or hook up. They end up just being nose heavy boat anchors. Stop lying to everyone. Oh, wait... you posted a video.... :D:coffee2:
