Best K-Member for my setup

I found an article from the magazine hotrodder and they did a swap with the same heads,headers,oil pan...without modifying anything...so I'm going for the aje Kmember with the universal engine mount style...im getting the bbf mounts for it and it should fit without a prob...just thought id post it up so other people with the same parts can use this same method instead of having to go to a plate setup

im going with a plate set up cause it gives me the opprtunity to lower and move back/move engine exactly where I want it to be. Its just a personal preference. There is multple ways and kmembers that can be used to drop a BBF into a fox.jmo

I've done the 460/C6 swap with two mustangs a 84 an a 90 which im doing now the 84 has a Qa1 the 90 has a upr, i like both but the upr is chromemoly so its lighter, and both cars used the motorsports swap pan and hooker 6224 swap headers, the 84 swap mounts were from holcomb motorsports they were the kind with the thick aluminum plate in the middle, the 90 mounts were the ones that didnt have the plate in the middle and both work fine. The steering shaft in the 84 was homemade the 90 has the flaming river and both hit the headers, i cut and welded the headers on the 84 but on the 90 im going to extend the shaft vs. cut and weld the headers, working on it last nite its the upper u joint that hits the headers like normal, the bottem one on the rack clears fine and the upper will clear as long as i get the u joint closer to the steering shaft coming outta the firewall and if thats not going to fix it moroso makes some smaller dia. u joints that would work without trying to move it closer to the firewall,the flaming river is a nice piece but big dia. u joints, also curtis universal joints in Springfield Mass makes all kinds and sizes www.curtisuniversal.com , Its gonna be an easy fix (well vs. cutting and welding the headers) I'll post pics as i get it done.

I got a borgsen u joint from jegs its 1'' dia. and flaming river makes them too but there 63 bucks vs. 45 i payed and its the same thing, its fits in the headers where the flaming river isnt even close cause its almost 2'' in dia. Most people say the hooker swap headers for the fox suck and i said it also. But they go in and out with ease and this is the second fox ive done with the 6224 swap headers, its the shaft that doesent clear,and this time i didnt want to cut and reweld the tubes to clear the shaft so i got the smaller u joint instead,i'll post pics how it clears today when im done welding the new joint to the shaft.
