69 Dart 340 Swinger Street/Road Race build

The second 2 pics is after I initially trimmed the inside radius. Then I trimmed the last little bit because I didn't like 1/8" of clearance. I did pull my engine to do this so I could see your frustrations in trimming yours. I was going to put a QA1 K-member in and I think I will hold off. The way I reinforced my original K member I believe it to be extremely strong and will stiffen up the chassis quite a bit. Now if I have motor mount issues, I will reconsider swapping K members at that time.

Wow! Thanks for the detailed pics. THis will help a lot. It's bad enough I have to lift the engine up just to get the oil pan off/on. I didn't want to be cutting and wellding with the pan off. Great work on the car so far. You are going to love the ride with all the suspension mods you have done. I just upgraded to the Hotckis shocks and the difference was crazy. I've been waiting on my Hotickis sway bar since December. Seeing you waited a while for yours, I guess they just don't keep bars for A-bodies in stock. I was told they were having a supply chain issue with steel. Good luck with your build. I'll be followng along.
