The only way I've seen stock mounts used is with a 4.6 K-member. you get a stock 4.6 motor mount and lengthen it to bolt into the stock lsx moutn holes. You can make the 5.0 stuff work if you don't mind fabricating a little bit.

Anthony Jones "AJE" makes a LSX Swap K-member and that is the one Kooks used to fab the LSX swap headers as well. I've got an earlyversion AJE one in my car that I picked up used. Mine was slightly tweaked so it required some effort to get it to go in right. I would recomend buying the second version and buying it new "or make sure it isn't warped"

Thats what we did. We used the factory f-body mount and fabbed a [ shaped bracket to go between that and the 5.0 k-member.

Now a question about this AJE K-member with LSx mounts....If KOOKS made headers for this type of swap....for a guy on a budget...would using 1 3/4 headers made for a 351W swap, but cutting off the SBF flanges and welding up the LS1 exhaust flange, would these headers fit with this AJE Kmember???

There is a good possibility it would work however I would recomend putting everything in the car first ,ock up the headers and tack the flanges to the primary so that it would ensure propper fit. Also make sure that you have your steering shaft in place.
