Default Stock K member LS!-Foxbody swaps in here..NOW!!!

Everyone else stay out of the thread.

If you have put an LSX ina foxbody with a stock K member, I want pics and stories.

I KNOW THE TUBULAR MEMBERS are easier....I'ma cheap **** that owns a welder and cutting tools...so I want some real world advice from soemone who has done it with a stock k member...

I dont see why its not possible..

No worries. Only thing I'd say is that I'm not ENTIRELY sure about the oil pan placement with regards to the stock K member. With all the pan options in the GM catalog now, I really don't think you should have a problem though.

Consider it done..I will document every thing I have to modify, if I can herlp it or remember to in the heat of battle with a welder at my side..haha

I've read a few people talking aobut notching out the k-member at the back edge under the pan.. Should be easy and I can fill any voids I create with some stock and the welder...

I wonder how long it'll be until soemone makes a foxbody pan...haha.
