Have anyone used normal ford k-member or do you always use sbc- or LS-swap k-members?

It has been done. And we are doing it as well, you just have to make your own motor mounts. We are just using the stock f-body mounts with a [ shaped bracket with a bolt welded to it.

Okay, then I'll go same route, thanks!

Buy the QA1 K member for a modular car (96up) and then use the Modular mounts on the LS1 - by far the EASIEST way to go.

Not if you already have the 5.0 K-member. It only took us about an hour to fab up the mounts. And the materials used only cost us $27.

Yep, I allready have 5.0 k-member (not yet installed though) and I like the idea that if I will get bored with my fairmont I can sell it as a roller and then it's ready for ordinary windsor.

By the way, do you put your engines just on the centerline of the car or does it go to right?

I wouldnt use a 4.6l k-member because it moves the front wheels in the wheel wells slightly.

I just used a 5.0l style tubular k' and built my own mounts using some 4.6 solid mounts.

seams a little overboard for a street car

i have the qa1 4.6 k-member and yes it moves the front wheels forard a inch and i had to cut the finder extenions to get the wheels to fit

Pretty sure only the QA1 k member moves the wheels forward guys. Done several modular swaps into foxbodies and dont recall any of them having changed geometry unless it's due to the spindles or a arms used..... that or the QA1 K member.

I'm pretty sure that it's the QA1 k-member also. I used 5.0 k-member when I put my 408w in a 89 coupe and it moved the wheels forward.

I'm using a 99 mustang GT kmember.

You have to slot the rear mounting bolts about 1/2inch more to get the kmember to fit but it bolts right on after that.

I have to weld my 4.6 mounts then it will go in sometime this week.

BTW: I found a guy that makes the t56 tranny crossmembers. He has made two of them alreadt for foxes with terminator swaps/t56 trannies.

im using a qa1 k-memeber that i already have in my car with my own solid mount. its relativley easy and doesnt cost that much.

Are you referring to the Qa1 modular mounts rather than the Qa1 LS mounts. I am having a hard time getting the clam shell type mounts to work like Qa1 says to use. I can not get both mounts lined up. If I get one bolt in then the other mount is way off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

can you send me the information on how you made the mounts work and a parts list please. Thank
