people will tell you to search i'm sure.
i had chrome AM arms that bolted up fine to my chromoly pa racing k-member. i would assume they will also fit pro-fab as well as anthony jones.
anthony jones, pro-fab and pa racing are the only ones i know to exist and have seen fitted first hand. beyond the art morrison a arms and coilover kit i had myself.

I'm pretty sure roadtech still makes a tubular K-member but you would have to switch to a coil-over setup.

I know Spohn makes them for thirdgen ls1 conversions, cuz I have one, but I dont know if they make it for normal sbc's. I would say PA racing would be your best bet.

Well the cars not running yet so Im not sure on that aspect, but the Kmember works fine bolting up wise. It clears up all the clearence issues like the coil pack on the passenger side and the air box, the ac on the kmember, ect...the only thing I had to do was grind open the motor mount bolt holes to fit. One suggestion...test the kmember on the motor first if possible and adjust the holes from there. I put the kmember in first and then the engine and spent an all nighter unsuccesfully trying to get the bolts through
. The next weekend I was able to pull the motor again unbolt the kmember drill the holes out propperly so it fit perfectly, bolt up the kmember, dropped the motor back in and bolted it up within an hour
. Wish I woulda done that first but live and learn...

Yea it is a lot easier....if you have a lift. Im doing this in my garage with a 40 year old hydraulic jack and jackstands. Its not that hard to test the k member on the engine just do it when its on the engine hoist like so...
