Looking into v6 camaro to same year ls1 & harness swap for my next build. I am very curious on K member differences. There cant be a difference between a 98 up v6 vs ls1 k members besides the mounts and maybe the steering racks, it just doesent seem like a plausible deal for it to be that way in terms of manufacturing, but heck I may be just trying to convince myself. Anyone know for sure? I already have a ls1 rack and mounts from my camaro before I went manual rack and solid mounts. Any info greatly appreciated!

Looks like I'm in the market for a 98 LS1 harness and computer now!
BTW Jeff hows the riding up on the mountain this year? I went in January and had a blast, lots of new roads cut through there this year though, makes the trails harder to find when you cross!

I picked up a 98 v6 car today to do the swap to. I can finally look at the differences. Thanks for the pics. So what i've gathered is if I go with the rack and linkage and LS1 mounts I can use the same K member? Or are the mounting points different?

What I do drill om V6 kmember and put Sophn solid mount.Sophin mount seems too tall length for my Ls2. Need little short length.
I will make my own mount one day when I have one newer Millermatic 252 or 350 weld.

I figured new holes could be drilled, fabbing mounts isnt a problem for me either, it looks like the v6 mount is rearward a little, I bet an addaptor plate could be fabbed pretty easily.
