Where to cut k-mem to keep a/c for LT1?
Does anyone have pics of an LT1 swap with a notched k-member so they could keep a/c? Found some for the LS1 swappers but not for LT1. Pics please?

Its not mine, but I found this pic for a LT1. But on mine, I just put a little heat in it with a torch and hit it with a hammer just above the k-member brace. It didn't take much. If you search on here, you can find a few pics.

After a short search on here... I found these 2 pics that show the clearance "bashing" method.

Credit to the original posters of these pics.

A hammer is all it takes you want even see it or have to make that big of a "dent".

Nicee... I wasnt expecting it to be right there, I thought you would have to notch the kmember in the same spot as the ls1 conversion.
