Couldn't you just open up the hole for the clutch fork in the bellhousing and use a 03-04 Cobra clutch fork/Throwout bearing and keep the cable clutch setup? The boss should be on the transmission front cover for the pivot ball, just needing drilled and tapped. You could look into using an 03-04 Cobra yoke as they also came with T-56's and the output shaft should have the same spline count.

It's cheaper and easier to just keep the hyd. clutch setup. Check out my OLD build thread in my sig. Also,I just happen to have another Thunderbird tubo coupe clutch pedal assembly. PM me your email address and I will send you a few more pictures of my set-up.
With the aje k-member, my drive shaft was 44'' from cap center to cap center( caps on the shaft) Don't take my word for it though. Measure yours! Just go to any driveline shop and tell them what you are doing.

I've asked around and even messaged Keisler and they said no dice. The 3650 Bellhousing is integrated into the case and would have to be cut off and a custom adapter plate made to begin with. However, What I'm thinking about doing is finding someone that wants to trade me thier T-45 straight across out of thier Mustang and then I can use Keisler's kit to adapt and LSX to that, keep my cable clutch which I like, all mounts and everything already works without modding.

Just the 4.6 motormounts to fit the LSx motor.
Also, depending on the oil pan used and if you are using the stock factory 4.6 K-member, you might need to notch the pan or K-member to clear the oil pan.
Here is a link to read on the motormounts:

With a budget in mind, has anyone here recently used a factory 4.6 K-member for a Fox LSx swap?

Problem with using the 4.6 k member is that you need to use the 96+ spindles to correct the bumpsteer. Using the modular spindles will make the front wheels stick out noticeably. Looks really shitty IMO unless you use rear SN95 axles which make using a large tire more difficult...

I am using the 4.6 K-member but the motor is yet to go into the car. Please be aware that if you use the iron block it does not have the same provisions for mounting as the aluminum motor.
It still can be done but it is not as simple as some write-ups make it. The third mount that you have to extend the factory 4.6 mount too is not present.

Remember alot of people make the lsX k member/mounts now. Pa-racing and AJE just to name a few without stepping on any toes.
If you can fabricate simple mounts for various things, weld up an exhaust or anything along those lines I feel you should be able to tackle the 4.6 dilemma. I plan on writing up some info to contribute to the boards in the next coming weeks.

Did a test fit with the 5.3 and v6 crossmember,doesn't look like it's gonna fit with the truck manifold and stock hood.New dilema, buy AJE crossmember or buy LS1 intake and water pump?
