k frame.

[hw612]

the car im getting has a /6 k frame in it, but comes with a v8 one.
dose it matter which one i use? planning on using a motor plate sooo....

 

[Racingduster]

nope

Oh wait, slight K member clearance for the oil pan could be needed. Minor sawzall action.

 

[Racingduster]

Im in the middle of doing that to mine....well if I could get off my butt and get to the garage that is....Im real lazy today

 

[rumblefish360]

Ha ha ha, WELLLLL, OK THEN!

That is alittle more extensive than a stock pan mod, but, since you have it out........
It's gotta be alot easier to test fit that way.

 

[hw612]

ok, well thats good then.
anyone wanna buy a v8 k member? lol

 

[Racingduster]

Yeah, I got a real large oil pan. hahaha. I'm also cutting weight off of it. I was just gonna box it in, more or less just how it is here. Now I think that I'm gonna cut it in half and run some CM tubing between the 2 halves. Its only metal....you can fix anything if you make a mistake.

Didn't mean to hijack your thread with my stuff...sorry

 

[hw612]

no problem, i like pictures.

I have the exact same question except I'm not using a motor plate. I have a 440 and both /6 and small block K frames. I'm about to pull the trigger on the Schumacher kit so if there's a good reason to use one or the other, it'll determine the part number I order. I can't see any advantage / disadvantage to either one, but I'm always willing to learn from you guys. Is the answer any different when using plain old motor mounts?

Not that I can think of. Either should work just fine.

Let us know how it turns out. Pics would be cool too. Thinking of doing the same thing to mine.
