I will forever do header installs this way, I’ve done a few 13s with the k member in but it literally takes an extra 30 minutes to drop it out ....... FML I love watching your VIDS

Bill is my spirit animal.

great instructions bill ,thank u.

Awesome video...you definitely should fo a video about total mustang weight saving and profuct oferrings like this k member

Interesting you guys took the kooks of the the jba headers which is what i have on my 2012 ....1 7/8 primaries love the way the jbas sound

Awesome job, you make everything look so easy

THIS WAS AWESOME! *and the way you say socket made me lol...I think I may make a song out of it!*

The BMR K frame really looks nice on the car but it looks like it could be weaker then the factory k frame what is the thickness and diameter of the tube steel ?

Does it matter which direction you install the front steering rack bolts. I've seen where some people say to install with the head of bolt facing the ground

How heavy was the chassis brace since it isn't reused

I can't use che k-member brace with torque limiters with this. that sucks. Does anyone know what tap i need to chase the threads on those rear k-member bolt holes? I cross threaded one.

How does the car ride with the bmr motor mounts. Bad good?? Any knock??? Thanks

Do they make on for a 73 ?

Great video! I'm curious, if I have long tube headers, would the lowered motor mounts lower the header ground clearance enough to worry about? I'm on coil overs and don't want to scrape!

It lowers the engine roughly an inch so you will be lowering the exhaust around the same. If you are low on coilovers like this car is I wouldn't go with the lowered mounts.

Why take out the kooks for the JBA? I know kooks are technically a mid length header but are still considered a long tube and both power and sound are pretty similar between the two?

Is the transmission jack really holding the entire engine up? This is a lot quicker than using a engine hoist.

PullTab yeah, do it all the time. Works great

@billtumas did you use a engine hoist or just the pole jack on the transmission to hold motor as well

On 05-09 mustangs, since it has power steering, can it stay installed on the car or does it have to come out with with k-member? Anyone know this?

Victor Barraza little late but yes, it can. I zip tied (14" heavy duty ties doubled up for a total of 4) mine to the front sway bar to get it out of the way.

Will the factory bellypan and air deflector fit with the bmr k-member and radiator support?

@cjponyparts

4 жыл бұрын

You will have to zip tie the back of the bellypan around the tube since there are no mounts for it on the BMR.

How come you guys didn’t show how to align the k member to make sure it was centered?

Pretty late but It should line up with the bolts. If you’re asking about him saying you should take it to get a alignment I’m sure he meant wheel alignment.

who replaces kooks with jba?? lol great video regardless

Do you think it would be easier to install long tubes to drop the K member or not to. I've heard it's easier dropping the K member, but it looks like alot more work. Thanks :)

I don't find it any easier but a lot of people do. IMHO if you drop the K member you better add an aligmnent after the install which adds cost and time.

Just remove the starter and engine mount brackets and you will have enough room.

could this be used to swap a 3.7l to the 5.0? and with the same steering rack, or is the rack diffrent from the 3.7 and the 5.0

Damn, that's alot of sockets/wrenches

Bill Tumas OK.. silly question of the day, what would be the benefit of the lower motor mounts in a drag race application? Also, how was the fit of the JBA headers? Thanks, great video as always

@Zerogivengarage

Lower center of gravity helps but the real reason for those is hood clearance with larger twin screw blowers. They fit really well. The H pipe took a little work to get fitted properly but the headers cleared everything nicely.

Why are you torquing with guesswork using an impact wrench?

Hello.. I thinking to lower the engine as i would like to install cobra jet for 2015 gt.. Would you suggest to buy k member or buying steeda engine mount would be enough? Bering in mind my Texas speed headers is so close to the steering rack

CJ pony my question is there anything to help with the vibration of the motor I installed mine a couple days ago and the vibration drives me nuts
