Will the 79-93 mustang k member brace fit the 83 tbird?
The 83-85 T-birds/Cougars have the same K-member as the 79-93 Mustang. The 86-88 cars have the K-member with the goofy engine mounts. You should be fine bolting the Mustang brace to your 83 Thunderbird.
Thanks, I was just curious, I know alot of guys back in the day looked for the convertables to get them off of.
*shakes head*
Nope. The 83-85 TBird/Cougar K-members aren't the same as the Fox Mustang. They use the same control arms and motor mounts, but dimensionally they are not the same. WAAAAAY back when, I tried to fit a Kenny Brown 4-point K-member brace on the old '83 TBird...didn't work.
Even of the 83-85's are different, can a mustang k work?
They are not the same. None of them.
Do they make one for the thunderbird?
You can make em work it just is a pain. I got a Q1 Tubular K member for 79-93 Fox bodies on my 87 Tbird drag car. I just ovaled some of the mounting holes with a die grinder and rasp. I know you can make em work on any fox cougar/tbird. Just don't think it is a simple "Bolt on" , kinda like fox body long tube headers, it can be done just tedious at times. My buddy had the same setup on his 4 eyed tbird so I know it fits on the early fox birds/cougs as well.
He wasn't asking about the K-member...he was asking about a K-member brace.
Huh I always thought they were the same. Thanks for setting me straight :).
