1969 Road Runner

[mmartoi]

I have 69 road runner, I am putting in a Qa1 suspension front and rear. I am also installing a Hellcat with Hp90 transmission.
Ford 9 325 rear-end.
Question being,
Does anyone know where you can get a engine and transmission stand that I can mount the k member on and then engine and transmission to use a 4 post lift to install from bottom?

Does anyone know what crossmember worked for you? I have installed a level 3 Stiffening Kit under the car for strength.

The link I posted has cross members under b-body. You could also discuss that with them.

I think US Car Tool sells the stand you want. They're simple to build - if you have the tools and equipment.

I did a TKX swap on my '66 Satellite a couple of years ago. Everything seemed to go in fine, but I need a little more space to get my driveline angles just right, so I cut the crossmember and installed this set-up from Holley.

The arch is beefy and should be plenty strong. I used an air hammer to gain the extra clearance for it, but it went in fine following the instructions and using the supplied hardware. I have not driven the car with this setup, but I am sure it will work fine.

Thats the link I posted. They have a lot of G3 conversion parts.

If you are handy with fabbing, make your own. Here's mine for a oe k-frame. Many ideas out there. To align the K with the cart, I got some 5/8x12" bolts. Cut the heads off and had the ends tapered down to help get it aligned.

This is a fabulous idea and exactly what I am looking for. Thank you for taking the time to share with me. Do you have time to talk on the phone? If so please dm a number and time to call. Marlin

 

[ckessel]

Sure.

If and when you build it, keep in mind the engine and trans sit at an angle. If the car is level on the hoist and so is the engine then the trans cross member hits first and you can't get the k bolts in. Make the back lower or adjustable. If everything is good it's a one man job and an hour or less. Preparation is key.

Here you go Marlin. Great talking to you.

Those guide pins are a great idea! Think I will have to make a set.

Tons of info on here on how to build one. Only way to install a Mopar engine and tranny in my opinion.

Good idea with the jack at the rear. Ideally you want the crossmember bolted on as well.
