Title: K member & motor mount Q's
Post by: Sduneman3 on October 11, 2007, 12:27:57 PM
Well, I'm thinking since I'm replacing the frame rails on my cougar, to put in a tubular k member in.  I know it seems like a waste, but in the future, I would like to put a 5.0 or 2.3t in place of the v6, and would like the weight/space savings of going tubular. (maybe a 3.8t ?)

Anyways, I found this guy on eBay: http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZhstlermotorsports and he's about a 3hr drive from where I live, so I can go and pick it up.

So... I would like to have my stock V6 motor mounts to work, but I don't know what year to get.

I know I don't' want a 79'-93' mustang k member, because it's not as wide as my current k member, and I want to use SN95 control arms.  So, do I want the 94'-95' - will it be the same width?  If I do go with the 94'-95', will my stock motor mounts still work?

Sorry for the long post, but I'm confused, and can't find the answers anywhere else I've looked.

Your stock mounts will not work with ANY of those listed.  No 86-88 mounts (2.3, 3.8 or 5.0) will work.

The 94-95 will have the closest width to your current set-up.

Thanks Chuck, What motor mounts would work with the 94-95 k member?  The V6 mounts for those years?
