V8 in slant 6 k member. What am I doing wrong

Mopar pass car engines are offset to the right side of the engine compartment. To clear master cylinder, column, and gear.

Australian cars beg to differ.
It is NOT offset to clear those items. It is offset in order to line it up with the pinion in the differential.

this was just posted in the for sale. maybe it will help.looks like the carb stud lines right up with radiator cap

Both the carburetor (via intake design) and radiator (via bracketry) can scoot either way a fair amount.

To the OP, V8 K-Frames are NOT that expensive, nor that hard to find. If you're going to be tipping this car up and all that, quit dicking with this garbage "trick" you found on the internet somewhere, and just buy the right factory parts. You're not really saving anything here. If the motor is out, the K-frame is what? 6 fasteners and some T-Bars to remove?

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Especially 5 years from now when you're looking for replacement parts.
