I made my own bracket. I just used some angle iron and used the front 2 holes on the manifold to bolt it down.

I plan on using these mounts if I can't find a stock LS1 k-member local. Cheaper than going with a tubular K-member.

Apparently I miss understood what you were saying. I thought at one time I remembered seeing that tubular k-members were being made where you had to reuse the factory pedestals. I am very familiar with built in pedestals as I used the UMI roadrace ls1 k-member for my swap.

This is great information. I wish they would have been out by the time I did my conversion. After runnig tubular K members on both my Lt1 and LS1 F bodies I very much appreciate the OEM K member for its structural integrity and rigidity. Alignment is much easier and precise too. I would have chosen this route for sure.
