That car is going to be quick when its done. What did you do for the motor mounts? SBC mounts on the aje k-member. With ls1/sbc adapter plates?

aje k-member for sbc mounts bolted right up no fabbing or headaches, but also used adapter from advance adapters for gen3 to sbc mounting that I had laying around to give me extra height to clear the rack will get rid of power assisted rack for a manual soon.

Have you ever ran it?

What transmission are you using and how much does it weigh?

I dig it,
Josh

Where did you get the adapter, i.e. advance adpaters for Gen3 to sbc?

Thumbs up

Not a Ford guy at all, but I always kinda liked the looks of the notchbacks.

Cool project you got.

thanks you guy for all the compliments, as for now I'm running the 4l60E I originally was going six speed, but everybody want's excessive amount of $'s just right now I'm working on the car and finishing up some last things. As for the adapters I honestly didn't have to use them and I bought from Advance Adapters, I just used them to clear the power assisted rack and pinion from the lower part of the oil pan, all you need is to order the AJE k-member for fox to fit SBC mounts and the adapters they come with will fit perfect, but you will have to use a manual rack due to the thickness of it to clear the oil pan. The car will be running soon with heads&cam and TNT 150 shot. As soon as I get all the bugs out from the conversion I will be concentrating on a iron block twin turbo set up. By the way guys it's alot work exploring into something nobody has done before. I don't care what people tell you It' not as easy, but hopefully in the future with my headaches and the other few guys headaches that are exploring the conversion it will be alot simple in the future once we figure out what works and not works.

I guess that's one difference between using the SBC/Fox K-member vs. the 4.6L K-member... There's PLENTY of clearance for the power rack on the 4.6L setup.

IMO for putting a motor/chassis combo that was never designed to be together it is fairly straight forward. alot of little things but not bad considering.

Do you think it is because the engine sets higher with the 4.6 setup or because it sets farther back...?

I'd like to see some photos to compare, actually. My motor sits RIGHT off the firewall, I love the position. I wouldn't mind it being a little lower though, and I actually slotted the holes on my motor mounts a little to drop it down a bit as well.
