they have the crossmember for the t56, its the one for all t35,400 4l60 but not for the 4l80e
i called them up when i ordered all my parts, i didnt have to cut or drill anything on anything on my aje stuff
only thing i had to do was cut the body back an inch or two to have the trans to clear..
ill pm you a picture here later on

Sorry I don't have a link. I just typed in 302 shorty headers and looked for a listing for a 94-95 Mustang. They were only $75.oo. Chinese junk but they fit the budget.

Sweet man thanks! I saw the pics looks easy. Did your center console fit or did you have to mod it

It fit like factory. The only thing I did was make a custom shifter handle. The camaro shifter is to fat and hit the bezel. So I just made a custom handle.

AJE makes some quality stuff. I just got my k member, they changed the design from my 1st one but it looks beefier. Congrats on getting your combo mounted.

Did you check out my thread? I converted to vacuum booster from a 95sn95
Works great.
You can make a braket to put the hydro booster on
