Default fox k member qa1 help

ok so i just bought a fox roller with a qa1 k member, qa1 coilovers, and qa1 control arms. now i want to go lsx in this mustang but i think aje is the only kmember for an lsx swap right? will my coilovers and control arms bolt on to the aje k member or can i easily modify my qa1 for the lsx engine? thanks

Thank you sincerely for being smart enough to use the search function and find out the details on your question. Far too many people come in here asking vague questions that have been covered 100 times before. Good luck with the build if you have any other questions feel free to shoot me a PM.

Going through this right now and I can tell you that the Qa1 with the upr solid mounts and ls adapter plates for the mounts do not work with a power steering rack.

Been looking at this for the past hour or so. Seems the combination of the upr solid 4.6 mounts with the ls1 adapter plates on the Qa1 kmember just does not have the engine sitting up high enough to clear anything. The power steering rack sits up almost 4" from the center of the mounts. This would dang near have it sitting inside the engine block. Seems these mounts just have the engine sitting WAY too low for any oil pan to work.

Guess it is time to fab up my own mounts. First thing first I have to check and see where the 4L80E transmission is going to sit to see how high I can go with the motor.
