Buy a Team Z version, get more clearance, a better and lighter product, and it will fit perfectly every time....and you can use an F body oil pan (I did)
also, more swap headers fit the Team Z than any other brand

too many people have too many issues with the AJE...the J stands for Junk according to most people


or...you can use the stock K-member with the CTS-V oil pan and pickup tube
the BRP kit is a good kit, or you can just buy the parts seperately.. a few people sell their stuff.

UPR sells adapter plates that allow you to use a 4.6 k member....if you need a 4.6 k-member i have one...free if you come pick it up...i decided to go with a UPR k-member kit

I believe Dirty Dingo has a set of mounts that does not require a k-member change. You may want to check with them.
