Default SN95 LS swap

What aftermarket Kmember can I use on my 96 Cobra? Can I use my Stock Kmember?
What Headers should use?

Thanks
Sean

I used UPR on my build. AJE, Racecraft, and Team Z also make one.
Dynatech 715-91310 is a LSX swap header for the sn-95. Kooks Also Makes one but twice the cost.



Here is the link to my build thread for our shop car. It is the 4th one we have done. If you have any questions just let me know.

You can use a stock K member but would have serious limitations on the headers that would work with it and they retain a lot of weight where you don't want it, over the front axle. Most long tubes are for aftermarket K members. Hedman makes a nice set of mid length headers that are supposed to work with stock K members, they come coated or painted.

If you decide to keep the stock k member and can't afford the headers, LS3 or Hooker manifold work well.
