K-Member

[Choppers]

Will a lt1 k-member from a cadillac fleetwood work in a 96 f-body/ thats where i am getting the motor from and was wandering if i could swap that to.

I doubt it,highly....the fleetwood is a bigger car and I bet has different front suspension.

Also you know a E body motor isn't like your F body right?

No. Choppers where are you at. I'm going to be pulling the factory K-Member from my car in a few weeks and dont' have a use for it.

You would need to mod the stock K in order to try and make this work at all. Not even sure if its possible.

i'm in jacksonville. ok i didn't think the k-member would work thats all i needed to know just trying to save money on the motor swap. and they said the fleetwoods are rated at 260 hp and the same as the f-body motors. there not?

E body's are iron head LT1 and your Aloy heads flow better up top.

Thats the big difference

yea the motor is going to completely be rebuilt with ported heads and a cc503 cam and we're going to bore it to a 355 possibly. It will have headers and td's. I have changed my mind on cams more than i change my pants.

Stock alum. head LT1's were rated at 275hp. Why not just redo your current engine? Would be a lot less work in the long run IMO. Or you could do an LS1 swap if looking to put something stock in.

i have a 3.8 v6 right now. i got the car for free that has the lt1 so its not a big deal to me to put $800 into the motor and i have someone that owes my dads friend work that owns a transmission shop thats going to rebuild the tranny with a stall and corvette servos for free also.
