Default 5.0 to LSx motor mounts...anyone make them?

Easy question. I've looked for this, but can't find them anywhere. There is a company about to fab such an item, but I want to know if they already exist. Basically I want to go from 5.0 SBF motor mounts to LSx motor mounts...I do not have the option of changing the K-member.

Thanks!

I would give AJE a call and let them know what you are trying to accomplish. Alot of SBF swap guys like them.

Thanks...I tried them, but it requires a K-member swap.

You have to use a k- member swap so the oil pan will clear, it drops the steering rack about 1 inch

The car already has a custom engine cradle in it...and is not a model supported by the aftermarket. I could cut the 5.0 mounts off and just put LSx mounts on...but I've contacted a company and they are going to make me a set of mounts instead...this way it can always go back to SBF if needed.

Exactly right, sir.

This is not a Mustang, the car already has a fabbed cradle/k-member in it. I'll just see how it goes with the mounts that are being built.
