BMR k-member and LT's

I put in a BMR k-member and the engie in yesterday.

Now, last time I put my Hooker LT's in the car, it was a battle. Lift one side, get the car as high as I could, basically a pain in the ****.

So today I go out and without taking out the motor mount bolts and lifting the motor, they went right in. I had more time putting spark plugs in than I had in putting both headers in. Maybe 1/2 hour @ tops.

Much more room, better clearances, lost 31 lbs from the swap.

If I would have known it would make the car that much easier to work on, I would have bought it years ago.

I also run a Canton oil pan and they for no charge adjusted the k-member to clear the oil pan. So right now with everything tight, I have 1/2" betweent the oil pan and the rack & pinion.

To BMR...

Nice, that may make me go with a BMR unit instead of PA...

Any reason you didnt go with a PA?

They just seemed to me more heavy duty. I also put in the BMR ds loop. Fit perfect.

I know any suspension components I buy, I will probably buy BMR.
