Good time to drop in a tubular K. Buddy just got one for his drag mustang. They are crazy light.

There is a little work that needs to be done to make it fit. There should be some old threads around. There is one about having a run of them made for our cars that have alot of info IIRC. You sould be able to re use all your stock parts but I am not totally sure.

You will have to go to Mustang motor mount I bet.

Your motor should also sit lower. The stock Mustang K sets the motor lower from what I have heard so so should this one. Lower center of gravity, thats a plus

hmmmm...
I'm thinking it's probably not worth the time and expense right now for something that I may only put 500 miles on in a year. (if that)
I'll just use the stock parts and new bolts and sleeves and stuff to put it back together. Someday if I do it, it'll make things easier for the swap. I really don't want to turn the front end into a major project. I really want to repair it to get it back together quickly. There's still a lot to do and Catjam gets closer everyday.

I think it depends on which one you get. I could still be wrong on that though. I read that some of them even move the front wheels forward.
