THANKS , THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT i WAS LOOKING FOR . I saw one done in Jim Hales shop about 10 yrs ago , he used rectangular tubing inserted in the frame after the cut out , he said it fit perfect and was stronger .
I am not real happy with my magnum force tubular front end , good for the dragstrip and lite , but not so happy w/ it on the country roads out here in the sticks.

It was for ideas for mods, I plan on doing somewhere in between the article and QA1
Do you want to buy one already done? I have an extra A body race car K frame that I was going to take to the swap meet this summer.

Is that apiece of angle iron used on it in the last pic ?
What are u asking for it ? Not bad mouthing , but it doesnt look as strong as Jims did .-------------????
No angle iron, there is a piece of 2x3 inch tubing that is welded into the K frame to box it together. The 2x3 tubing is very strong and not too heavy. You can put a jack under the tubing and lift the front of the car. I was going to ask $200 at the swap meet.

Got the 340 mounts off today and ground up pretty decent , and all laid out , to cut , but think I`ll get it sandblasted first , BEFORE I CUT IT UP.
Going to do it like the one I saw at Jims place .
Engine is on a motor plate , so that helps too . Wish I could get a rack and pinion to work on it , but -----------more to come.
