Starting Mustang LSX swap, but I'm doing it different. I've done some research and measurments.
I found a pan or two that I think will let me use the stock kemember without much effort.
I'm fabbng up my own motor mounts so that will be another easy easy thing.
The last scary part of my equation is headers.
I see kooks makes soe nice swap headers. However I'm unsure how they might clear the stock 5.0 k member.
The engine will be withing an inch or two of the firewall for oil pan reasons.
anyone got pics of them isntalled?

With the AJE k-member, the rear of the block is about 1 1/2" from the face of the fire wall. These are the only pics I have right now. I will get more next time I go to the shop.

We have the Kooks headers and a maximum motorsports tubular K for a 5.0 and we still could not fit the passenger side header without modifying the k-member. I don't see the stock k-member ever clearing the Kooks.

Hmm..The AJE seems compatible wth stok A arms..that makes it ALOT cheaper....
Are you stuck with solid engine mounts though? I'm not ok with that at all..
I went on their site and I didnt see anything for poly mounts
