440 into a /6 duster
FYI, we don't take the brakes off of the car but leave them hooked up and hang them with wires while the
K-member is taken out - no rebleeding necessary. Also, if you assemble the power unit on the K-member
prior to installing, the transmission is already installed and the torsion bars are ready to be slid in.
Very easy to jumble everything into place when it's outside of the car. If you get a chance to try it sometime
you will never do it the old way again.
Photo: Test fitting a 472" Hemi with 727 and headers already assembled together on the K-frame. Note brakes
still hooked up and hanging. Drop the body down, screw the 4 K-frame bolts and trans crossmember bolts in,
re-assemble the front suspension and you are on the ground (no, you don't want to use those drum brakes!).
Understood.
