Default LT1 K-member on LS1 car

Just a quick question...

My buddy damaged his k-member in his 02 TA and needs a new k-member. I happen to have an extra LT1 k-member lying around. Would everything work if I just fabbed up new motor mounts? Is this possible or is there something else different in the K-member design other than motor mounts that I need to know about.

Thanks

You can do it. I have one with the LS1 mounts welded to it. I didn't do it a shop did and I am going to pull it out this winter when I go with a BMR.

Used K-Members are pretty cheap also...

I've been looking for a UMI one used/cheap but haven't come across one yet.

My budget right now would be limited to a refurbished model...

Thats why I'm in the market for a used one.
