I put 2x4x.120 units in the car. On the back, the relocated spring boxes are welded to them. Up front, I cut through the t-bar/trans unit to sleeve them into the back of the front rails by about 5". I haven't finished off the interior stuff yet as I figured to connect the bars to the rails...
Just for general info, when QA1 first hit the market some years ago, I stopped by their booth when I attended the SEMA show. I asked the rep a basic Mopar question that affects many including me. The question: how well does the unit do when you put a floor jack under it to raise the car? Answer...
No, didn't weigh it.
On the QA1 and others, I'm watching for long term daily driving, especially on rough roads, to see how their stuff holds up compared to oe.
The cage pictures are very useful for me. In the future I'll be installing an 8 point unit in my 65. Looking at the floor plates and other portions is informative.
Has the power for sure and I intend to have fun at Buttonwillow, Willow Springs, maybe Thunderhill and some autocross/solo fun. Might hit Famosa just because but I have way more fun in the twisty stuff. The K-frame is just the tip of the iceberg for my 65. Lots done and more to come. No show...

Later on here, I added in reinforcement pieces around the steering box mount. Also finally had the chance to trim off the excess material from the engine mount brackets. Partially just because and the other to gain more clearance for the oil line from the pump to the pan. Milodon external pickup...
Plus a skid plate. From the factory, the K had around 40 or so plug welds. I added in over 120. Used a Blair Rotabroach[ hole cutter] set to cut through one layer with the exception of the Idler Arm mount. Two layers there with different sizes. Cut pockets below the lower control arm shaft...
