Tubular K-Member Input Needed! Reply #90 – November 05, 2007, 06:43:20 AM Quote from: 83-88T-Bird Guy;186272I was curious as to why the decision was made to use the 83-84 T-Bird /Cougar dimensions? From what I gather it is replica of the K that is in his car. The shop that built it is (or not) reproducing them. Quote Selected

Tubular K-Member Input Needed! Reply #96 – November 09, 2007, 08:17:46 AM It will work *BUT*You would need to convert to Mustang-style motor mounts and swap to the shorter Fox Mustang/83-86Tbird control arms. Which is offsetting the cost of the unit. Quote Selected

No one said it wouldn't bolt into the car on an 87-88, it's all the other things people would have to change to use it on those cars. Quote Selected

Alot of guys have already replaced all that stuff on their cars, and I guess they should just spend that money again? THAT is If a guy was starting from scratch, then yeah, but the guys who are speaking up are the ones who have already spent the money on said other parts. Having to redo all that work makes the $300 K-member now a $600 proposition or more by the time you replace motor mounts and control arms.Besides...there are other options besides the "stock py motor mounts", which some folks already have.Quote from: 347Thunder;186802Do it right the first time don't cut cornersThis coming from the guy who used a POS UPR K-Member. Talk about cutting corners. :rolleyes: I wouldn't use one of those things on a s rolling chassis. Quote Selected
