Default Fox LSX motor mounts

Is there a company that sell motor mounts for doing this swap?

I was told that a 4.6 mount will work by adding a 1" peice of metal to it, I can do this with out a problem but I was looking for something that would look factory/clean.

AJE makes a k-member with mounts. It's like $349 for the k-member/mount kit. Do a search for AJE swap k-members, there is a gazillion threads with info and pics about it. As far as i know, they are the only one who makes a "DIRECT" bolt in for LS1 to foxbody.

I already have a Maxium Motorsports K-member with the bumpsteer kit, i'm just looking for some mounts, if I can not find some already prefabed then I will either make some or just use the 4.6 mounts

Is your Kmember made for a modular motor or the 302 ?

There was a thread on here I believe, that showed someone modifying some motor mounts to drop in with a 302 K-member.....He used the 4.6 motor mounts(the part that would bolt to the engine) and some motor mounts from a 70s Chrysler Aspen/Duster (for the part that would bolt to the K-member and "fused" them together....

I sent JW33 a payment for these mounts a few minutes ago. I was going to do something simular to what he did but I would rather buy his and save the time working on getting it going.

Thanks for all the help, when I get the motor in I will up-date my thread...
