Santa Came Early!!! Hellcat Redeye build with RMS suspension!!!

[ItsJustMe]

Hey all, been a while since I posted here. I ran into a little snag and need some advice. I want to run blower spacers to help reduce heat soak and IAT temps. I cut some blocks that are the same height as the spacers and the middle hood support hits the supercharger. It really only needs a 1/2" to clear. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to cut out where needed but still keep it somewhat rigid? Wondering if I could cut it flush and maybe tack weld a thicker piece of steel to reinforce it.

What have you done for extra clearance?

I would put 1/2 inch spacers on the K-frame and call it good. Especially with RMS front, you aren’t even messing with torsion bar angles. Only thing is, I don’t know if you already drilled all the holes for the RMS setup.

Everything is in and mocked up.

I just bought a Hellcat engine and trans from a 2021. I will be transplanting it into a 1970 Cuda. So what pump and cooler are you using?

I had some free time over the weekend. I was able to get the front suspension mocked up. I'll work on the brakes this week, then I'll start on the rear. For a 55yr old car everything is fitting together surprisingly well. I just need to install the 3rd member, axles and brakes. I want to get the car back on the ground so I can install the forward firewall to frame supports. I'm waiting on a few things so I can make the cold air intake.

I also got the trans and oil coolers installed.
