I installed this bad boy with my new QTP headers... install was pretty straight foward... this is my first K-member install with engine in car and I Gotta say it wasnt that bad! Fitment was incredible with ALL holes lining up perfect the first time! Engine mounts bolted right on, clearance is HUGE everywhere! I can slide headers in and out with ease now, as well as easily access the motor mounts, which I have to replace one of next week... I HGHLY Recommend this to anyone that was thinking about a K-member but had never heard of Pro Fab, or was just considering the difference between BMR and this one! Plus they offer any color you want (I got black powdercoat) and it only took 4 days to get!

Edit - Pics on the way!

 

yeah I wanna see pics!!,, and how much does it weigh?

 

<---Waiting for the pics

Did you go with chromoly or steel?

 

Yeah what he said! Also on a scale of 1-10 how hard would you say it was? Did you use a lift?

 

19 lbs without motor mounts, didnt weigh it with as I was kinda in a hurry

 

Steel, I got it for clearance purposes... light weight is just a side benefit!

 

used a lift... I wouldnt recommend it on the ground unless you have a good amount of clearance to drop it all... I made a bunch of short cuts that ended up saving me a lot of time compared to the install sheet on BMRs site... Basically if you arent VERY comfortable with working on your car I Wouldnt try it... its definatly advanced not so much because of the work required, but more so of the correct tools and a lift...

 

how much did you pay for it? im thinking of dropping in a new tubular k-member when the motors pulled out since there wont be an easier time

 

some pics please

 

$318 shipped... pretty sure its only a monthly special though

 

I have pics, but the roomie snagged the camera for a show this weekend so I will have it back tomorrow and get them up!

 

I just bought one off of ebay for $201 (at last check they were going for $210). They hooked me up with a discount for also buying Upper and lower tubular a-arms. Sweet deal for all 3.

I should be getting mine (also in black) by the end of the week.

 

I did my K-Member on the ground, Jacked my car up as high as I could and put jackstangs under all 4 corners so the car was level. Then I used a Cherry Picker to hold the motor up, unbolted everthing and dropped the old K-Member, and jacked the motor up a little and installed the BMR k-member and lowered the engine back down into it, it was a piece of cake.

 

Yeah..Pro Fab is great. Can't beat their deals with a stick I'll have one coming in shortly as well. Thinking of going with the red k-member and a-arms

 

so better than BMR?

 

Here's a picture:

Damn thats a pretty nice price on ebay.

I think I'll eventually get one, few other things would probably benifit me more now. Although for the header install I'm sure it would be great....

 

The Pro fab k-member is 10 times better than the BMR in my opinion...The only thing about the pro fab is you have to use different than stock mounting bolts (big deal!). The bmr is a crappy fit and still doesnt provide as much clearance and ease of installation as the pro fab. Pro fab rules!

 

fitment was perfect...

Far as ease of install, it was easy for me, and a few others im sure, however I still dont recommend this for weekend warriors if you arent very skilled on this kind of stuff, and have a decent amount of tools... its one of those mods where if you screw up, your car isnt moving because nothing is supporting the engine!

 

I've installed quite a few BMR's and I don't know what you are talking about qith fitment cause all of mine went in like the factory K-member with no issues? I even installed one on a car that had been wrecked bad and it still went in with out to much trouble? The BMR had the motor mounts welded in place and they lined up perfect for me? Of course I am sure everyone has there opinion and this is just been my experience with the BMR never had anyone want any other type around here. I have installed them a few different ways but I have done it just like BLT FED with the exception I used a floor jack under the oil pan with a 2x12 under it and I have used the engine hoist too. They all work and I know you said not to leave this to the weekend warriors but Black Beasst did it and if he can any one can with a little time JMO? Good luck to everyone installing K-members and if you need them installed in the Houston area let me know I can do it or anything else for that matter. Seeya!!!!!!!
