K-member test fit July 21, 2006, 09:37:28 PM im sure this wont be new to most of you, it has been discussed to death. i didnt get anywhere on the IRS today, and i borrowed a engine hoist(thanks Chuck!) so this is what i did instead. pulled the engine/trans and stock Kmember. then test fit my new tubular unit:you hafta excuse my dirty engine bay. i jus got everything outta there and couldnt resist the oppurtunity to test fit new parts:D it will be cleaned before everything goes together officially.
