That's a good machine too. Just so you are aware, if you're planning on getting one from Harbor Freight, the ones they sell are remanufactured units, just fyi. Just used mine to make a bracket to mount my SS grille emblem in the Musstang!

So I can use the 1998 GT k-member and just build some modified mounts to install my 5.3? That seems pretty simple.
Any ideas on mounting the air pump for the brakes/steering?

I hooked up the outlet myself lol. Its only a few feet from the box so it was easy. I still have to weld up the trans crossmember... I have been slacking lately. I have slipped back into tightwad mode, haha.

PSI conversion harness. They are on eBay, and have a website.
I ditched the ABS. No other modifications to the headers. I just cut the old flanges off, heated the tubes w/ a torch, and rounded them out w/ a sort of tail pipe expander thing at my buddy's shop haha. Then welded the ls1 flanges on. Headers fit ok, see below.
I wouldn't say they fit well, especially w/ the 4l80e, but they do fit. I had to do some grinding on the bellhousing, and the driver side is really close to the firewall. It's funny because the passenger side fits pretty awesome in comparison. Note: I am using a factory 4.6 kmember.

A member of a Mustang Forum makes an ABS Delete Manifold. You could try contacting him.

I had to redo all the brake lines anyway, so i just ran a line from my proportioning valve to my linelock, and put a tee on the "output" of the unit for the front brakes.
