Looking good. Which k-member is that? LS or LT? If it's LTx, what motor mounts are those? I know the LT1 stuff went fast, I ended up with your 1.7 rockers even though I didn't buy them from you. LOL The other buyer swapped plans.

Its a PA Racing K member and A arms for LSX mounts...

Yea I literally couldn't keep up with shipping it fell in the middle of finals it was crazy....

Those 1.7 rockers were literally brand new...made 3 dyno pulls and a few short trips around the block....hope they work out good for you!!! Yea I think he is building a new motor and going 1.6s...

It's been said before, but that is one mean looking T/A! Just to let you know, I was planning on "borrowing" that idea on the air dam, it looks awesome. Do you have any driving issues with it though?

Yes we sprayed it in my garage.. We just wet the floors down..since it was just the engine bay we didn't worry about getting a booth....

The air compressor is a Craftsman Belt driven 30 gallon with a water separator on it....The Gun is a Devilbiss HVLP.. as for paint I went with Nason Single Stage urethane...

I think the mounts are in different spots but I can't be too sure...Those pedestals on my K member are from PA racing too...may give them a call and see if it can be made to work...or if you need me to pull some measurements let me know

Thanks bud! Yea I actually made and sold about 10 of them and so far no one that I know of has any issues with them...I personally have not either...Mine is about 1" shorter than the stock one though and I tweaked the angle a little to to help clearance....

Thanks man. I called PA and was told the mounts are different on the kmember. I could send it in with $50 to change the mounts over though. not too bad, i'll prolly just go with a UMI though.

Matt, car looks good and the engine bay looks like my brothers engine after we painted it. Red cars exterior with black underhood looks badass

Wow that isn't bad for the mounts...That is the way i would go.. UMI is heavier...

If so do you have any pics?

I went all the way down the Trans tunnel with the gloss black automotive paint and the rest of it is the rubber undercoating that comes in a spray can...

No pics yet but I will get some for you..
