Me n my buddy both have swapped foxes, the aje Kmember fits like a glove and for the price cant beat it, we ripped all wiring out and did standalone engine harness and bought a painless knock off 12 circuit fuse box and rewired just what we needed

Are you talking intake or exhaust manifolds?


The other problem with running a 4.6k is it puts the front wheels forward an inch or so..

The biggest problem I foresee is the wiring and coolant system.

this should help for the wiring.

As for the pulse generator I believe dakota digital makes something for this application.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info! I did not know you could use the stock springs with the Team Z K-member. Do you need a bump steering kit? Where did you get the ctv pan from?

UPR makes a nice set of adaptor plates that bolt to LSX using poly 4.6 motor mounts and will work on most any K member. I am using them on my `94 GT LS 383 powered project using a Qa1 K member and Dynatech long tubes (1 7/8's) Much of it from ebay, about $1k for everything and it all fits without modification. You may never find headers for your swap WITHOUT using an aftermarket K member, just sayin.

Team Z does not sell the spring pads you need. I know QA1 pads fit for a fact- I bought them from Summit. I did not need a bump steer kit. My understanding is that you only need them in a lowered car. I bought my pan/etc. at GMPartsDirect.

sorry, I should have said exhaust manifold.

Everyone has their own way to do it, but I know that I did mine on a tight budget this year because my son is also startin Jr. Dragsters this year and I had to take alot of my budgeted money from my car and put it torwards his. With only spending around 2,500 or so on this converstion I really like how it is turning out. Just spend alot of time shopping around for your parts because when you think you found a good price you may find another for cheaper. I would say I spent more time researching parts than I did working on my car.

They won't put your wheels further forward if you are using the better control arms, (QA1) those are adjustable with spacers, you can shorten or lengthen your wheel base with those arms. Cooling system? just use a stock F body radiator and fan assembly, it works well and is the least expensive route, inlet and outlet are correct. The biggest obstacle with your swap will be getting exhaust to clear the steering, bite the bullet and buy Dynotechs, you will save your sanity and time.

I've been researching this swap as well, and from what I read the 2010 Camaro manifolds seem like they fit well on one of the swaps I found. They kept the heat shields on them too. It was close to the steering shaft but didn't hit.

The BRP setup is designed around the CTS-V oil pan, so if you're any good at fabrication, the mounts shouldn't be too hard.

As mentioned in a previous post, the 'Vette fuel filter will handle ~500ish HP before needing to swap to a separate filter and regulator.

As 64post said, the F-body radiator, hoses, and fans will fit. I'm pretty sure you can even use the stock radiator mounts from the Mustang. Might have to mod them a little, but from the looks of it, it wasn't much.

The information is out there. I found most of my info from google searches. You can find damn near anything on google.

I've been researching the hell out of it too, the fbody radiator is most likely what Im going to use.

I'm sure the dynatech headers are a good idea, but I plan on going turbo later on, that's why I don't wanna waste money on headers.

I used the stock fox body radiator with the f body fans. Dont really like how the lower goes across the motor but it works. May upgrade to a different radiator later down the road if the fox one doesnt keep my turbo truck motor coo.l.

Well I got a lot done today before I had to leave unexpectedly. I did not finish both mounts but got most of both complete and have the engine were it should be after mounts are bolted in. with GM part # 19212593 for the oil pan and stock 4 cyl k member the pan fits great. Mine as of now is about 1" below the K member itself at the deepest spot which is the drain plug at front of pan. this deep section is literally between the tires so unless you straddle something tall enough to hit your pan you should be good. My factory rack will hit before the oil pan does. I test fitted some 1 5/8 headers and they seem to fit fine for the most part... I am going to get some 1 3/4 or 1 7/8 on way in next day or so and give them a shot and I will post pics showing everything. we had scrap steel laying around so I didnt even have to use the 1/4" thick plate I purchased to make the mounts. For the trans mount with a th350 i used the double hump crossmember from a gt mustang and put the energy suspension mount with a spacer to get trans right in car I will post pics as soon as the rest of mounts are finished

I'm doing an ls1 swap in a 93 four cylinder notch. I'm trying to figure out how to hook up the ls1 clutch assembly. I decided to go with T56.

justincracker

here is an attachment of how the mount on driver side ended up looking it works pretty good but i feel like my k member is twisted or somethings as my mounts didnt have to be proportionate for it to sit in center of engine bay but as mentioned the lowest point atm is the oil pan drain plug which is about 1" below the k member but my mounts for my rack are lower than the K member. Ive got 2" headers waiting to go in and will post pics of fitment and clearances when my 6.0 gets here later this week so hopefully saturday Ill be able to get some work done

***Sorry its actually the left mount now that I look back at the pic my bad ***

You can use foxbody headers just weld ls flanges

Going to be in the same boat. Wiring is annoying. I will have about 2 days of wiring clean up once I am done I am sure.

I am looking at a 1990 LX 4-Cylinder. If I make my own motor mount, I can use the the stock k-member and the stock oil pan that is on my 2001 5.3. Correct ?

Do I really need this GM part # 19212593 oil pan ?

I already have a 4.8 & a 5.3 both with 50,000 miles. In addition, I have a 4L60E and rows of T5 !

I am not sure if I want to go Automatic or 5-Speed.
