OK, here we go with part 2 of the superstock k-member mod.
In this next shot, you can see the k-member is starting to be closed up. The side plates have been fit and are all tacked in.
Here's a shot of the bottom side and you can see the plates are nearly welded in now. If you cut these right, they will just about flush up with the k-member as the recesses are alreay radiused.
On the home stretch - prime it up for paint.
A good coat of POR-15 or your preferred chassis paint, and she's ready to go back under your hotrod.
So, now, if you run one of these, or a dry sump set up, life just got much easier for you in terms of engine removal and installations. Yes, that's a 440 source SS pan, and it's very beefy.
Again, I hope this helps, but I'm sure most on this forum already know how to do this mod. I've posted for any newbies, or techies that may be interested in performing their own.
Happy rodding,
Southernman
