Install K member with motor in car?

Would it be possible to install a tubular K member with the motor in the car?

yes!, you just need a way to support the motor, i did mine like that, used a cherry picker

i imagine you could do it using a floor jack somehow too

once the motor is supported its a cake walk, well kinda lol nothing is a cake walk on these cars...

I don't think I'd try it with a floor jack. Cherry picker would be the best option.

I've never done it but I don't see any reason you shouldn't be able to just put a jack on the tranny.
