Tubular K-Member Input Needed! Reply #61 – October 27, 2007, 10:38:21 PM Quote from: EricCoolCats;184320The company is in Michigan...it's a private builder, not a large corporation. Shipping to Canada should not be an issue, nor should pickup at their location. All the specs for this K-member were taken directly from a 1983 Thunderbird so we're talking Mustang-style motor mounts, and probably stock Fox Mustang/T-Bird/Cougar A-arm lengths.I was getting all interested in this idea of k-members specific to the T-Bird/Cougar until I read it would be based on the 83 Bird dimensions.Just me thinking out loud here, but wouldn't it be more beneficial to use the 87-88 dimensions and longer LCA?My reasoning is that we can use our longer 87-88 LCA ( as well as 94-95 Mustang-LCA) to get the factory wheel track with the option of using Fox Mustang lowers if we want to use 3/4 inch offset wheels for whatever the reason. Allows us more flexibility in suspension/wheel choices. ( The Fox Mustang guys can't do that) I am trying to put 2 1/8 inch Kooks 460 headers in my 87 TC and I will have to cut/reweld with gussets on the factory k-frame.( mainly because I want to use my factory coil springs)Would be nice to have a tubular tho.Make the control arm dimensions the same as the 87-88 as well as coil spring buckets and I will buy one.Alan Quote Selected
Tubular K-Member Input Needed! Reply #62 – October 27, 2007, 10:59:11 PM Tbird guy that is a really great Idea. Add to that raised control arm mounting points and the option to lower the engine, something tbird guy could utilize being a big block guy. Quote Selected
Tubular K-Member Input Needed! Reply #63 – October 27, 2007, 11:22:35 PM Yeah, it would be great to lower the engine even more, but header clearance is more important right now.I dread the idea of hacking up my k-member more than I already have.Would be wonderful to run the 460 Victor/ Dominator carb set-up.

People are going to want to see what they are getting (or close to it).I totally agree!Would be nice to see how the k-frame tubes slope down after the frame rail bolts on the passenger side so I can get an idea if my big 2 1/8th inch Kooks will clear....especially the # 2 cylinder.
