I fabricated my K-frame

I know, its blurry. But you can see what was done.

The reason for this is with putting the big block in, the 402 pan hit partly on the K-frame lip. Plus, It'd be a PITA If i ever had to pull the engine out. Can't pull it back because it'd hit on the K-frame. SO with the cutting, it will make it easier to pull the engine out if ever needed. Plus I just thought it'd be something cool.


A buddy of mine did the cutting and welding. I did the cleaning and painted. He welds for a living and is very good.
What do ya think?

Thats cause I painted it up.

I used a primer paint, then some black paint.


The wedge is going into the Dart. funny, it's a 66 Chrysler replacement block. Worth quite a bit of money.
