big block in a fox

For anyone who's done this, was there any body modification needed to get the big block with a c6 (or other auto trans) in, or did it just drop in? I hope to have a tubular k-member when I go about doing the swap. Is there any particular brand one would recommend over another for this swap?

i have one in my FOX i used the qa1 tubular k member i cut the motor mounts off of it and used the D&D mount kit with 2 1/8 headers it fits well and works good. i used a powerglide transmission in order to have good clearance for linkage i cut and boxed the floor at the driver side tunnel. i also had to smooth the passanger side bottom k member where it bolts to frame for clearance and had to massage the glide bellhousing for clearance of the headers. Hope this helps

it does help....doesn't seem like anything too crazy.

Studly, did you use motor plate/mid plates? I'm using the same headers, how did they fit? How did the steering shaft fit? I'm using a stock K-member, Bob told me they will fit good.

I think the AJE Racing K-member is the best fitting one out there. I have seen alot of them and nothing seems to fit as good and clean.

I've heard a lot of good things about AJE, but this car will be street driven often, and i don't think they were built for that

Yes they are. I am also building a street/strip 98 Mustang and I just bolted mine up tonight. There is also a guy here in town that has had is for awhile and is car is just a street car. They are just built better then the other ones out there. I woouldnt trust a couple of the other ones myself. They just look "slapped" together compared to the AJE one.

I used Motor Plate and Mid Plate with Limiters i have the UNI Steer shaft and steering rod. If i had to do over i would use flaming river steering shaft had to dimple headers for clearance and smooth steering shaft. I have had two Qa1 K members i like the one with rod ends the best i take and cut 1 inch off the end and put the rod ends back in and it moves the wheel in closer in the fender. i also like the UPR k members they fit really well and are super light and strong. i have all Upr rear suspension with a 1.24 60 and 5.48 1/8 Mile times on N20 with the BBF Stock Suspension getting it done

i use a front plate,with or with out tube k member, I LIKE performance automotive's K MEMBER when i use one,

the cars i do mostly either get a c6 or a c4,plenty of room for either, a little more clearance should be done at top of trans for top 2 trans bolts. i have not done this to a few because of nice paint and still pulled trans no problem. it best to make new crossmember tight up against floor

Qa1 K members i like the one with rod ends the best i take and cut 1 inch off the end and put the rod ends back in and it moves the wheel in closer in the fender

Glad to know I am not the only fruitloop out there that has done this. I did take 1 1/2 off and had to add some threads to the a-arm

PA SELLS there controll arms shorter for that very reason
