I really dont have any intentions for the car, Im just wierd like that.
I mean Ill make it fast one day, but I just didnt see it making sense to swap in an LT1 on the factory k-member with manifolds.
So I got headers and a tubular k-member. lol

I still have to finish my 396 project before I devote real money and time to this one. I just wunna row gears around town lol

either way, what are you intentions with the car? I'm not a brand specific person myself, I just look around at what company has the best item to offer for whatever I'm looking to buy. In this case, I run a Spohn K-member
i have a standard BMR, and i installed a UMI with a friend on his car.

no difference at all really.

i recommended the turbo style BMR one, because it gives even more room. how could having MORE room hurt anything?

I don't think any of the major suspension companies make "junk" per say...you'll probably be happy with whatever you order. I know it makes the front end about 25 lbs lighter. My buddy got UMI 3 point SFC's for his car and he's very happy thus far. They seem to be cheaper than everyone, but just as good of quality.

UMI road race version. Best on the market hands down. Owned it 3 yrs now w/ no problems. I'm sure the others are good too but I've never heard a SINGLE complaint from UMI customers anywhere that I'm aware of.

I just got my UMI k-member today and I like it alot.

This might be off topic but where can I get motor mounts from?
Autozone said 120 each... I looked at the v6 mounts but obviously theyre not the same.

thanks,
ZACH

But thats the problem, I dont have the clamshells or anything. I have two v6 mounts, the passenger side LT1 motor mount (motor side only, not actual mount that goes on k-member) and I have nothing for the drivers side. I found some in for sale section, Ill try to get those.

Thanks for the help.

buy the solid mounts. cheaper, and they work great. i ran them on my car for years and you would never know that they were solid.



Quick Reply: BMR, UMI, or SPOHN k-member??
