Modular Conversion K-Member info

[wickedstangs]

beening doing some research and if worst comes to worst some of the conversion guys are using 96 and up stock k-members.

Hey there,

You can use any (V6 included, that is what I used) '96 and up stock k-member. The only thing that you must do to modify this unit for use with your Fox chassis is to cut approximately 1/2" of metal from the rear mounts and extend the corresponding bolt holes forward about the same amount. The modification and installation of this k-member in my Fox Mustang took maybe an hour and a half to complete, including swapping over the a-arms.

Take care,

JT

PS: Don't try to modify your Fox style k-member. What I've mentioned above is a gazillion times easier!

sounds like a junkyard trip.

Good find, but will it solve the steering linkage problem? The problem we are having is with aftermarket headers. Yes we can shim the motor higher. You just have to put the shims on top of the motor mount vice the bottom. This way the nut can still engage and the motor can be raised. There is more then one way to skin a cat without spending money. Like I said, put the additional shims on top of the motor mount. Xavier knows what I'm talking about if you would like a second opinion.

I'm wondering if the adjustment in alignment will alleviate the header obstruction problem. The WORST that can happen is that we ask JBA to re-route those two pipes a little to allow the steering shaft to clear. That's the WORST case scenario.

We are due a little luck on our project and I'm sure we'll conquer it! Have faith!
