K Member problem

[snakeoil24]

1967 Coronet 318 car swapped with many upgrades 426 Hemi Mopar block using schumacher Spool mounts.

1. Front ears of K member bolt up no issue to k member. Back two ears will not get closer to frame then 3/4 of an inch. Ive looked every where for possible hang up. Nothing is interfering. If i push uip on tail of auto trans trying to move it up we begin to have body lift. Second issue traditional oil canister filter body rubs against K member below it. No or minimal clearance. Any idea and also considering shimming.

Did this k frame belong with this car?

Engine must be to far back and the bell is up against the tunnel.

Inspect to see if there is contact between the steering gear, trans, or engine with the floor pan or frame rails. If there is cleance? the motor mounts may be in a bind holding the k-frame at a rear downward tilt. Loosen the mount and see if that helps. are these traditional Hemi mounts on a stock block? or are they big block style mounts on an aftermarket block?

The mounts are Schumacher spool mounts on mopar block

Is this a hemi or wedge block? if hemi is it one with the mounting ears like a wedge? Does the transmission mount and cross member fit?

Mount thR bolts to 3 holes in block no ears like 440

I suspect the conversion mounts are not made correctly. There is not a lot of movement in them.

Will the transmission mount and cross member line up? This would tell you if the motor is sitting right as far as forward and back.

Going to check and recheck now

When I did that conversion the only thing that fit and worked properly was the Schumacher mounts. But I dropped the engine in from the top, k-member already in place, no headers. That was a Hemi into a 440 Superbird. Engine landed in the perfect place as evidenced by the fan in the middle of the radiator shroud. I hate to say drop it in from the top because of the amount of work it would be but it would be easier to see whats going on. Sorry for your pain.
