Can you install a K-Member with engine and tranny in?

Just like the title says, can you install the K-Member with both the engine and tranny in? I just saw the new UMI K-Member and would like to put it in

Absolutely. I secured my motor to my STB with tie down straps.

Put the car up on jackstands, unbolted the motor mounts, and pulled the K-member off. swapped the A-arms and spindles, etc. over and raised the new one up in there with my floor jack.

Yes you sure can

You can do the complete swap in about 6 hours, give or a take a little depending on how familar you are with the front suspension.

If I can help any just let me know.

Thanks!
