AJE is the company name , K-member from a v8 car will bolt right up to 4cyl car , and some have used 4.6 mounts and modifyed them work .

The 2.3 and 5.0 K-members are the same, depending on your year. The early fox bodies (79-86 I believe) had slightly narrower K-members. The 2.3/5.0 K-members are different from the 4.6 though..

cause of the text in bold. and only 96-04 came with 4.6 k's
you can buy the aje k but make sure, like you mentioned, to buy the lsx mounts or the 4.6's can be modified....
sorry for the confusion

My oil pressure on my stang is around 40 once warm in gear, I would say your normal. My 98 Z28 hold around 25-30 once warm. Dont know what to say about tranny tho. My car ran a little warm too but I had my fans pushing instead of pulling and I havent really been out driving any. Im still running open headers till I can take it to the exhaust shop. Kinda scared cause Im sure theres gonna be noises I dont want to hear. Hang in there it will be worth it when you get it all lined out.

guess 200* is what i have been reading that theses motors run at , i see maybe in a efi car .. but i would like it to be around the 160-180* mark with my carb'ed set up
and as for oil pressure 25-30psi warm at idle is normal? and driving is around 40 psi ?.... seems very low
