    Default I6 k member swap questions

    Removing the I6 and k member from 1980 mustang, replacing with k member from a 1993 will the hardware be the same or will I need bolts from the 1993?

    The 4 bolts near the springs should be the same. The 79-81 K member uses a different bolt spacing on the rear bolts that run perpendicular to the frame rails. I think you may need the hardware from the 1993 to make it work. You will most likely have to do some modifications to your body also for all of it to work. I swapped the K member in my 79 PC many years ago, but I don't remember all the modifications it took to make it work right now. Sorry!
