QA1’s K-Member Solution For Gen 3 HEMI Swaps

QA1's K-Member Solution For Gen 3 HEMI Swaps

Are you looking to drop a modern Gen 3 HEMI in your classic Mopar? QA1 has engineered a comprehensive line of K-members and engine mounts that can help relieve the headache of these popular swaps.

A-Body Applications

Perfect for Dart, Duster, and Demon owners, QA1’s tubular K-member (P/N 52313) package brings modern engineering to these lightweight classics. The direct bolt-on K-member dramatically improves header and oil pan clearance while accepting both factory and aftermarket engine mounts. When paired with QA1’s dedicated Gen 3 HEMI mount kit (P/N 7740-331), you’ve got everything needed to position that modern HEMI right where it belongs. One key note: A-body applications require QA1’s sway bar and control arms.

Early B-Body Solutions

For those early Belvederes, Chargers and other B-bodies, QA1 offers a purpose-built combination. The tubular K-member provides the same strength and clearance benefits, while the specific Gen 3 HEMI mount kit (P/N 7740-339) ensures perfect engine placement. Like the A-body setup, this early B-body system requires QA1’s sway bar components. If you are building a General Lee replica, you’ll want that anyways for proper handling.

Late B-Body and E-Body Integration

Here’s where things get interesting. QA1’s engineering team developed a K-member (P/N 52314) that works for both late B-bodies (1971-1972) and E-bodies (1970-1974). For 1966-1970 B-body applications, QA1 offers a specific K-member (P/N 52315). The matching Gen 3 HEMI engine mount kit (P/N 7740-335) completes the package. This setup can use factory or QA1 sway bar components.

QA1 Benefits

The QA1 K-members share some impressive features:

  • Engineered for maximum strength through tubular construction
  • The tubular construction shaves weight off the front end
  • Significantly improved header and oil pan clearance
  • Direct bolt-on design requiring no chassis modifications
  • Made in the USA

The engine mount kits are equally well thought out:

  • Precision-engineered for proper engine placement
  • Compatible with QA1’s front suspension systems
  • Complete bolt-in solution

Whether you’re building a street machine, pro-touring car, or drag racer, QA1’s K-member and engine mount combinations provide the foundation needed for a successful modern HEMI swap. Keep in mind, that these components are designed to work as a…
