I have A S & M headers also, I contacted this company via e-mail and they claim their k-member will fit.

Try this one.

 

Try THIS.

Looks like a nice piece, similar to the BMR.

 

Hey I put in some wrench time on that Purple machine of yours lol... I always liked that car and was sad to see Bobby let it go, especially for the price. You got a good deal.

Get some gears and a better tune on that car it should fly...

Right on!! A set of 3.73's is in the plans now that I have gotten ahold of a couple of those SLP Speedo Recalibration boxes. The tune will follow, but it's not too shabby right now. It's a bit on the rich side, and I do get some cam surge from it, but it's overall not too bad. My main concern right now is my other car.

Yeah, Bobby gave me a hell of a deal on it, I still can't believe I bought it for that cheap. But look what he's driving now!!! lmao

 

Take a close look at where the K-member bolts to the car.

Notice on the Pro-Fab unit, it is sheet-metal, versus beefy tubing on the PA and BMR.

Just a detail that makes the PA and BMR stiffer and more attractive. . .

BTW, my car is the one that BMR and Thunder Racing discovered the BMR/ASM interference issue on. Cost me $1000 for new JH2000 coated Hooker LT's, Mufflex Y-pipe, etc. . . But, the engine is 1000% easier to work on now. It was worth it in serviceability alone.

engineermike, I hate you, you started all these problems. lol

 

Sorry.

I thought I should get something for free (maybe the Hooker LT's), but then I remembered: Thunder helped me out tremendously on the engine build and install, so I had no room to complain.

Sorry to dig this up, but I'm looking at K-members (for serviceability more than anything else) and I have ASM headers. According to BMR, the collector flange interferes with the K-member and to make it work would require header modification.

So, I called AJE and talked to Anthony. His words were that if it clears the stock K-member, it will clear theirs, and will really open things up below. Also, contrary to what was posted somewhere else on this board, the AJE unit will work with the stock A-arms. I asked specifically whether he had any problems with street use, AX use, drag use, or road racing. He told me they were used frequently in those applications and they've seen no problems. He had no strength concerns whatsoever. I don't live too far from them, so I'm going to go take a look when I get a chance. Jeg's carries them and they sell quite a few I guess. This might be a good one to consider. I compared Jeg's price with the BMR price and they are very close.

 

If you can, try to post some pics of this AJE piece. Thanks.

 

This is what I don't understand about BMR, why not make a k member which will work with the AS&M headers?
I don't think that people who already have these headers should be penalized for having them, I for one have emission concerns not to mention all the money already forked over for the AS&M headers and Random tech Ypipe. Think anyone on this board will give up almost $1000 for this setup knowing they can't get a tubular k frame? How hard could it be for them to modify or change the offending tubing to clear these type of headers. They should have designed their k frame so that anything that clears a stock k frame should clear their's as well. Sorry just venting, but it bother's me that I'm forced to either buy long tubes and hope I can sell my others or keep my headers and lose an opportunity to shed almost 100 # with k frame & control arms.

 

I met with Anthony at AJE today. I should have some pictures next week. The K-member on the website is *not* the normal one. There isn't a picture of the regular LT1 K-member. It is beefy and very well built. It's well triangulated in the mounting region. We lined up a stock k-member next to the AJE member and it looks like the ASM headers should clear with no problem. It's impressive to say the least. It looks like it should be stronger than the BMR unit, but who can say for certain without testing? He told me that for $20 they'll weld a couple of reinforcing tubes from the sides to the center tube to make it more rigid. He called it a road racing setup, and apparently he sells some that way. I'm getting a picture of one of those. I think that if I do finally buy a k-member, I will buy his. It looks really nice and very strong.

On a side note, you can use the stock A-arms, but if you really want to lose some weight, you can go with his K-member, convert to a strut setup and some aftermarket brakes and drag tires/wheels. He has a 4th gen he converted and said he was able to take about 200 lbs off the front end. Not cheap, but that's some serious weight reduction. A couple of pics of that setup are on the website.

HTH.

 

How about a link to his web site? If it fits I'll buy one.

Thanks.

Make sure you get the right one. You can get a stock or pinto rack, no mounts or LT1 mounts.

The picture on his website is not what the 4th gen part looks like.

 

OK, I got a couple of pictures. I'll send them if you like, or if someone would like to host, I'll post a link.
