Thanks for this video I feel real confident now. I’m restoring an 82 GT and just got the motor out and dash apart. Can’t wait to throw in a k kit and a new rear end. Very excited!

Expect to modify the bolt holes because they do not line up exactly, I had to move 2 holes over a little to make it work. It took me and a friend 4 1/2 hours to remove the old suspension and put in the new K-member and the A arms. Will start on the struts and camber plates tomorrow.

How important is it to be lined up perfectly or should I just boot it on and alignment will do the rest
@latemodelrestoration5 жыл бұрын
Joe, Excellent question! It is important to have the k-member bolted in, squared up and aligned with the rest of the vehicle. This will ensure that when you have the suspension aligned there will be no surprises. If you have any other question contact us with the link below. Have a great day! lmr.com/contact

Will i need A Arms and the coil springs with the LS k member or can i use factory A Arms and springs?
@latemodelrestoration9 ай бұрын
You can use factory lower control arms and coil springs with a Team Z LS-swap k-member as long as you run an upper spring perch. We sell the BMR version (links below). Also, due to the variances in aftermarket k-members and factory or factory-style front lower control arms, you'll have to widen the ears on the k-member where the control gets positioned. -Landan We did something similar whenever we were mocking up the 7.3L Godzilla engine in one of our cars.

Hey Landon have you ever but a 4r70w transmission in a fox body mustang if so can you use the stock aod shifter thanks for any info
@latemodelrestoration7 жыл бұрын
Gregory - I've never put a 4R70W in a Fox Body. I don't see why the factory shifter wouldn't work. However, the gear selection will read incorrectly since a factory AOD face plate reads "1, 2, D, D(in circle)". A 4R70W utilizes a "1, 2, D and then an electronic O/D off button." Hope this helps. -Landan
