K member notching question

I've taken many engines in and out of these cars thru the top. There is no need to notch the K frame to clear anything. Not sure who told you that or where you got it from. But even deep sump pans clear.

You've never installed an engine or engine/transmission with a Milodon pan in my Dart. It will not fit without a notch, period.

To the OP go ahead and notch the K member before you have it powder coated, it could save you a bunch of headache later.
