Ls1 fox swap come in need help?????????????????????

I have QA1 k-member 5.0 which mount should I use? 4.6 Or 5.0? Will it fit direct to k-member or need to put more spacer between k-member and the mount?

it's just a flat plate of 1/2" thick aluminum thats roughly 9" wide X 4.50" tall that bolts to the engine where the LS motor mounts go. Then i bolted 4.6 mounts to the plate. If you look at the pic closely you can see the aluminum plate sandwiched between the engine and motor mount
