LS Notch. Howdy,
Ik its been done a bunch of times before and there are prob. a 100 different threads but my post count wont allow me to shop and I'd like to get some new ideas and info..
I'm currently trying to acquiring parts to build a LS(6) hopefully Fox coupe. Im about to move on a roller, 4cyl car with an 8.8 rear end and 5 lug axle's. My goal is to get it a pretty quick (410ish WHP) streetable car. No crazy suspension or cage. Tubular K-member, A-arms and decent breaks. Looking to go T-56 for the trans and some type of long tubes..
If anyone has any positive input or suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Especially if there are some parts that are needed that might not be common sense.. Thanks guys!

^ that
5.3 with bolt ons would more than likely be cheaper than a stock ls1...and certainly cheaper than a stock ls6.
6.0 would even be easier to make your goal power but generally are a little more expensive than the 5.3 (but still less than the LS1/6)
I personally recommend the AJE K Member. There is many to choose from tho.
Is your Fox an auto or manual? That being said, you will have to pick up a pedal assembly from a T56 car for the fox. Unless you specifically want tubular A arms....you don't NEED them. Stock control arms can be used with some tubular K members.

Verdad Gallardo Fitment was good expect for the lower control arms ( aje control arms ) the arm wouldn't come close to going in. Returned that one and got another one and that one was worse than the first one, so I cut and moved the ear to work. I did by these threw summit racing, my only thought is that aje is selling the f- up ones to big companys. So that being said with my experience I would not buy another one from AJE.

I'm def set on a LS1/6. I want to make more power eventually and keep the car light and N/A..
I've been reading a lot about the AJE K-member, I originally thought Maximum Motorsports for a K-member cause being a ford guy thats what i'm used to. I'll have to look into them more. How hard is it putting the T-56 in, with the whole hydraulic clutch and what not?

Carb or EFI?
Mcleod makes a hydraulic slave cylinder conversion kit for Mustangs. Would probably work for you. Check with Promotion http://promotionpowertrain.com/
The UPR K-members are really hard to beat for bang-for-buck, light weight and fitment.
The maximum motorsports is probably the best built K-member out there. Maybe Griggs, but #2 at worst.
Anyone looking for deals on UPR/Max Moto, lemme know!
