Default Mustang LS swap, I need help with motor mounts

I have a stang with a 351 in it and I did a little searching and couldn't find a direct swap from a 351 to an ls motor. Does anybody know who makes direct swap motor mounts?

351 windsor? If so, should be the same as 5.0L.

Its a 92 coupe.

It has a tubular k member in it now, I just don't know which one (just got the car a few weeks ago). If its AJE which I think it may be, I know what I need then. I just bought a set that were 351 headers with the flange redone for an ls1. Didn't know that about the shaft, thanks for the info.

Got the 351 ls1 flange welded on headers.

I was able to get some pics of the mounts that are on the car. Can somebody tell me what mounts will bolt in this K-member for an LS1?

The mounts and k-member in the pics are standard 5.0 mounts on a 5.0 based k-member. If you want to keep the aftermarket k-member you have, you can build mounts or use the BRP mounts.

There are no differences in the mounts between 5.0 and the 5.8...just a different deck height. It looks like you have a factory style engine mount pedestal.

yep, no clue what brand yours is. looks to be fairly old. regardless, build your own with some scrap steel. or buy some from brp hotrods. they are the only ones making them, so it's expensive

I've got the same k-member. I bought solid 4.6 mounts and welded them to 1/4" plate. works good.
