I am looking for a tubular k member that would work for my 84' that I am putting a 408 (5.

into. I have been told that the fox body 79-93 mustangs suspensions will work for the 83-87 thunderbirds.
Any help??

I went with the UPR k member and has worked out so far. I am dealing with the engine sitting way back close to the firewall now, and measuring for some swap headers.

There are two set of holes in the UPR K-member. If its in the back set of holes so that it lines up with the tranny cross member then maybe you need to install it in the front set of holes and adjust the tranny cross member.

Are the extra set of holes for engine set-back in drag racing? Or for a 460 swap or something?

Typically set back for racing if its allowed by the class. Road Racing = better weight distribution = better handling. Drag Racing = moving weight towards the rear = better traction = better 60' times. Typically a BB swap requires a completely different K-member than a SB motor.
