Best K-Member with A-Arms For LS1
I will be needing to purchase a K-member with A-Arms for my engine swap V6 to a LS1 and i am having a hard time picking a brand to go with. I have been searching and most posts that i have found are on the older side so i am not sure if there are new designs. I just installed frame connectors from UMI and they were very nice so i am thinking of going with UMI. Also if there is a benefit with better clearance going with a different brand i would consider that.
thanks Rich

Drag strip or turns?
Turbo?
Air conditioning?
And why do you want a tubular K member? They're not stronger if that's what you're hoping for.

Just turns no turbo but I know the A/C needs to be relocated with UMI
I am taking out a V6 so I will need a k-member, so I thought this would be the easiest way

V6 and V8 have the same K member.

Thank you for letting me know, i thought that i read that it would need to be changed. I was also thinking that it would help with the LS motor mount and aid in additional room.
Thanks again for your information

I am definitely going to check this out i would be so happy if i could keep the LS1 A/C. Do you know what the best choice for motor mounts would be.
Thanks so much
