LS on LT k member
 
I have a LT specific tubular k member and I'm looking to make some use of it. Anyone ever swap LS into LT without swapping the k member? I see hooker makes a motor mount kit and was wondering if anyone has used it or anyone else's kit. I know this is the cheap way out but this k member is like brand new and was given to me, I would feel bad selling it and I honestly don't think there's a big market for it. Anyone that has any input I'm all ears.

What brand?

AJE. With lower arms and flaming river manual rack.

Yea, buy their BBC plate mounts and toss in a real motor.

(but yes, to answer your question AJE claims you can adapt the K to LTX/LSX/BBC)

You can adapt there universal K to all of those but I'm not sure if you can do that with the LT specific K. They are different. Pre LS there wasn't a universal K. After the LS came out they made/make a universal so it works with any motor.

Could you use sbc motor plates on a lsx and attach it that way? Because cant you use the sbc motor plates to put the ls motors in sbc cars? and I bolted a lt1 in a sbc with no issues.

I sent AJE an email, guess I wait for a reply. Not looking to run motor plates.

I didn't mean actual motor plates. I meant the mounts that go in the original location but are on plates for adjustability

Spoke with AJE, they are going to install the LS mounts onto my k member and re powder coat it for $150. If for some reason they can't get the mounts to work they will send me a new LS K for $150.
