K member question

[88fox98cobra]

I'm planing to go with the aje k member set up. Can anyone tell me what parts are necessary to order to do this swap. I'm putting a 98 cobra 4.6 in an 88 gt

I just installed an 03 Cobra engine and transmission in my 93 lx. You will need a transmission cross member, K-member, A control arms and engine mounts (included in AJE kit). I cannot remember the part numbers, but I purchased them from an AJE Vendor. His name is Tim, 931-639-6390. I worked with Tim and he got me exactly what I needed to make my installation a success.

Installation pics are installed on my thread. Good luck, Craig

AJE is an excellent choice. Besides offering a great k-member (and being a site sponsor), they offer a control arm option that allows you to use conventional springs as opposed to coil overs.

Hi im new to this site and im in the process of doing a 89 lx mod swap. Ive been looking into the AJE k - member and I was wondering if I could use all the stock parts off my 04 gt donor car with just the K - member?

I've never tried to use stock control arms with the AJE k-member, but I have done it with a couple of other brands. With D&D and MM you have to clearance the back of the control arm, meaning you have to cut the lip off so that the arm can have full travel. Although I've gotten away with not boxing them, I do recommend you box the control arm with a piece of flat strap to make up for the rigidity removed by clearancing.

Make sure you get the fox a arms, the modular ones are about an inch wider.

True, but the New Edge control arms provide better handling.

I am running the full mod front end on my 87GT. It does give it a mean stance.
