95 Mustang Budget LS Swap Engine Install Problems

I found out the hard way that 94-95 stock Mustang K-Members won't fit an LS!

Also take of the hood first.. and a marker works good as well.

[@alldabeanzracing9650]

Haha, that’s why I was starting with a 96. A race car should have a tubular k-member anyways.

Yep, for real. I picked up the 95 because it was only $600 with a title :) Little did I know.....

@@kapsgarage4564 The Mustang is rejecting the Chevy motor! LOL, just kidding, it's your car build it the way you want. I love the SN95 as I have one, a '98 GT and I'm doing the same thing, building a budget drag only car. I'm using what I have, the 4.6 NPI engine with an SVO intake and a Cobra twin bladed throttle body. Should get into the 12s easy with a big cam and making it really light. I'll keep and eye on your build, might pick up a trick or two from you. I like the hood pins. Oh, go to the junk yard get another space saver spare, take that and the one you have and put them up front. It will make the car easy to move until you get your racing rims and tires up front. This is what I have done and even the wife can steer the thing when I roll it out of the garage.

Light is right. Not only does it take less hp to go fast, but it’s a lot easier on the driveline. Just commenting as I watch.

Can you show the process of how you sit the engine on the k-member in your next video? I am trying to do the same and cant find a good video that shows the fitment to plate/engine.

[@elfelipe1485]

you have to change the oil pan sir to a camaro 98-01

[@frankw8ite]

What oil pan was it you needed I’m about to do to also?

[@bigpetie66]

Any updates on you getting the engine in🤔

[@alldabeanzracing9650]

any updates on this? I was building an ls swapped sn95, but lost interest. Now I'm building a 95 with a junkyard explorer gt40 headed motor... If you get this thing together, we need to compare time slips to remind me that I made a mistake... haha

[@kapsgarage4564]

yeah I swapped in UPR k-member, engine and trans are in, but not much else done as I took a break over winter. I'll start plugging away at things again in April. K-member swap video coming tomorrow-ish.

[@kevinkeeney3295]

What manifold exhaust did u use. I have mine in now having trouble finding something to fit

[@kapsgarage4564]

Flowtech up and forward headers from summit. I have only test fit them so far and it looks like they'll work fine both up and forward, or down and forward. I'll be replacing the brake master with a strange manual which will delete the booster and move the lines to come out toward the fender. I don't think they'll fit without swapping the brake master.
