Will this be sufficient support?

The plates will be 1/4" and bars would be thick wall pipe or solid, I am not looking for weight savings only bottom end acess and will have a wonder bar in before this mod.

 

ed quay does something similiar check out his website, although I would just buy a tubular kmember if that is what you are shooting for.

 

Thanks,
Thats exactly what i was going to make. Now i have a better idea and will make it removable.

 

I have a couple of pics of this being done...... makes for an easy oil pan drop.

 

does this weaken the front subframe at all?

looks like a good mod, maybe something more can be done to free up some more room around the headers or something. cant see myself paying 500$ for a tubular kmember on my daily driver but always looking to improve the stock member since there better for daily drivers.

 

Should be strong enough, those pics are from a guy on the turbomustangs forum that runs 9s.......

 

what about it being strong enough for a daily driver? whats the gauge of that steel? 1/4" and the middle part?

 

I don't know any of the specs of this Kmember, look on theTurboForums http://www.theturboforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=61219 . They guys username is trbo355 and he has a 1988 GTA with a STOCK 350 that runs 9.50s. THe topic is "How long til it GRENADES?" There are about 98 pages now, but it is a GREAT read if you have the time...... Also, he didnt have subframe connectors, used the stock torque arm (relocated) and press in rocker studs... he replaced 2 ,only 2, of the press in studs when they pulled out!
