Man that video just doesn't give you an idea of how rowdy that car really is. Should put down some great numbers at the track.

Been awhile since I posted on this thread but I have not had time for the car since TX2K12 and finally got some things done on it.

Installed aerospace drag brakes all 4 corners and rear coilovers. Time to go racing. Should have some times within a few weeks.

What K-member do you have in the car? I'm starting to hunt down "ls" motors to start doing a swap on my.

Absolutely everything is touched, 5 lug conversion, 31 spline mosers, discs all the way around, tko600 (i'm just gonna buy a new bell housing when i make the switch... i'll convert to a 6spd later).


Did you end up just picking a k-member that would accept the ls motor, or did you make mounts for it?

It is the AJE K member with AJE LS Motor Mounts. Its the easiest way to do the swap.

I know PA Racing now has a LS K Member as well. Looks like a nice piece.

There are quite a few options K-member wise but for the most part people run AJE.

TeamZ also makes one but its a lil pricey compared to the rest.

Just buy a AJE K-member and Kooks headers and be done with it. You can make other brands work, Its just not worth fighting with headers and other clearance issues. I have done several swaps and never had a clearance issue.
