Lol I totally agree with u that it's better to buy the best first rather than spending money twice. Just saying there are deals out there like my $500 ls6 with full eagle rotating assembly, arp bolts, comp valve train, 243 worked heads, etc. I believe with a little luck and some brains it could be done. Ive had several lsx cars from budget builds to no money spared cars and now want to start a lsx fox body build. Thanks for all the input.

Has any of you people heard of swap meets? Down here in central fl we have a huge swap meet once a month in a little town called Webster that consist of hundreds of sellers and thousands of buyers. Ive bought coated hooker super comps for $50 before there. People come there to clean out there shops garages and don't wants take it home. It's also where I bought the ls6 for $500. It's in webster fl every 1st Sunday of the month for u local guys. Another good place to pick up great deals is turkey rod run in daytona fl it's once a year and is this weekend.

I have been researching this as well, I am going with the AJE K and am going to try an retain the stock control arms to keep costs down. I really dont want/need coil overs at this point. My concern is that the headers are known to have a clearance issue (at least Dynatechs) with the factory control arm. Seems you save $ on one end and cost some on the other end...... Keep us posted with what you go with, I read this section every day in an effort to see what works and what does not.

What's up guys, I'm about to start a fox body coupe LS swap budget build and would like to know which kit is the best for the money! I've found three kits with my research and reading build threads on here.
AJE PACKAGE-$799 Includes Kmember,Aarms,coil overs,engine mounts
TEAM Z PACKAGE-$739 Includes Kmember,Aarms,coil overs, no mounts
BRP kit-$499 Includes motor mounts, tranny mounts, hardware
If anybody else knows of any other available kits please post them with info. I think this info will help anybody starting a fox body LS swap. Any info is much appreciated!

For a budget build you can use a stock k member out of a 96-98 mustang (v8 or v6 doesn't matter). You then use the 4.6 mustang motor mounts and use a very simple 3/16 steel plate and drill some holes to make an adapter to the ls block (VERY easy)
Then you should be able to use your stock fox a arms, rack and pinion, etc etc.
I'd say that's about the cheapest way to do it.
For headers you can use fox 302 (or 351 windsor swap) headers, cut off the ford flange and weld on an ls header flange. That should get you pretty decent fitment but you might have to ding a couple primaries here and there to get a perfect fit
