iTrader: (39)

iTrader: (9)

Which "K" is it then?

lt4malibu

iTrader: (39)

its specifically for a SBC/LSx, came with LSx mounts and everything...

~FLATOUT~

they make a k for the lsx? or they make mounts that fit a small block chev k for a mustang? WHich is it? Stace

They make both. You can specifiy LSx or SBC.

lt4malibu

iTrader: (39)

yep...

you only have to flip the mounts side-to-side for the LSx

with any luck i'll see how it fits this weekend.

More pics with your progress! That is going to be a killer car when complete!

I'm very interested to see how much (or how little) clearance you will have between the rack and oil pan. I have that same K and I needed to add spacers between the mount and block. Please let us know!

lt4malibu

iTrader: (39)

will do.

deuce_454

heres just a short Hijack, what height suspension, whees/tires, and what backspacing are you running on that BU?

lt4malibu

iTrader: (39)

suspension is nothing special really, hotchkis springs, BMR rear control arms, hotchkis tubular uppers in front, B-body spindles, and monte SS sway bars.

wheels are 18x8(4.5bs) in front, 18x9(4.75bs)rear, p245 and p275/40r18's

got the old Kmember out last night, prepped and painted the engine compartment(nothing fancy just spray bombed it semi-gloss black) hopefully after i do some running around and the second coat dries ill be able to bolt up the new AJE Kmember and test fit the motor.

MOTOR MOUNTS:



Kmember & Rack:


Final Resting Place:




the motor mounts do make the engine sit too low, id say it needs a good 1/4 to clear the rack(oil pan was touching it so i took the rack out) so i dunno, i guess i could get some spacers for where the mounts bolt to the block or offset rack bushings...

im very happy its finally starting to come together, i really hope i can get this done by the end of may/mid june...

Nice!
With that k-member its damn near a bolt in swap!
How about the trans crossmember?

lt4malibu

iTrader: (39)

well, im gonna have to fab something up because the mount on the 4l60e is about 2 inches away from the mounting points for the trans crossmember on the body...
