Default fox body ls1 question

I would like some info from anyone who has done this swap. I will need to know what type of k-member you used and if possible any info/pictures of your motor mounts and trans crossmember. Any other useful information would be appreciated as well. PM me if possible or send an email to m1a2drvr@yahoo.com

Use an Anthony Jones K member set up for SBC perches. Then, use S&P mounts to hang an LS1 on the SBC perches. The tranny uses the stock fox crossmember, which is adjustable.

Did you run a GTO, F-body, or Corvette oil pan?

Do you have a link to the K members? thanks

F-body pan, although GTO may work too. Corvette won't work.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-swaps/200679-ls1s-do-fit-mustangs-minimal-work-pics.html <-- Good swap info pt.2

It should be noted that all of this info comes directly from this forum. I have not performed the swap myself. I already have an LS1 car and a Mustang, so there's no need to mix the two for me!

I try to keep up with this and the 2nd Gen RX7 swap too. I want to build one of the 2 for a track events car but my C5 keeps eating the $$.
