UMI Performance 3rd Generation K-member Now Available!

1982-1992 F-Body K-member for TPI, SBC, BBC and LSX Engines


UMI Performance is proud to announce the design of our 82-92 K-member is complete and we are adding the finishing touches now. The K-member will save 20 lbs of front end weight while freeing room for turbo set ups, headers and other exhaust items. The K-member that will actually ship will have some small changes compared to what the picture shows, the rear control arm mount is now boxed and there is a forth motor mount hole. The finished design will be rock solid.

Currently we offering four K-member options, two for the standard SBC/BBC/TPI and two for the LSX engines. I will explain each one below.


#2401- 1982-1992 GM F-Body Tubular K-member, Coil Springs
This item will work with TPI, SBC and BBC. It features bolt in spring perches for standard springs and lowering springs. The K-member will except factory motor mounts or solid mounts like UMI P/N 0051.

#2402- 1982-1992 GM F-Body Tubular K-member, Coil Over
This item will work with TPI, SBC and BBC. This item is designed to work with coil over set ups only. The spring perch bolted to the K-member in the picture will be replaced with a support brace. The spring perches can be purchased at a later date if needed to convert to factory style springs. The K-member will except factory motor mounts or solid mounts like UMI P/N 0051.


#2403- 1982-1992 GM F-Body Tubular K-member, LSX Engines, Factory Springs
This item is designed to mount a LSX engine into your 82-92 F-Body. It features bolt in spring perches for standard springs and lowering springs. The motor mounts in the picture are similar to what we will supply but not the actual mounts, they weren't completed in time for pictures. You will need factory LSX rubber motor mounts or UMI P/N 2323, solid motor mounts.

#2404- 1982-1992 GM F-Body Tubular K-member for LSX Engines, Coil Overs
This item is designed to mount a LSX engine into your 82-92 F-Body. This item is designed to work with coil over set ups only. The spring perch bolted to the K-member in the picture will be replaced with a support brace. he motor mounts in the picture are similar to what we will supply but not the actual mounts, they weren't completed in time for pictures. You will need factory LSX rubber motor mounts or UMI P/N 2323, solid motor mounts.

We are asking for 3-4 weeks to ship this time. We will do our best to have these available as fast as possible.

Thanks for looking!

Once the design is completed and production starts they will be a product we make everyday and usually in stock. If one isn't in stock shipping time will be around 2 days. Right now this is first production run and this is why ship times are long.

Thanks for asking!

im sure it will be a little while before they are out. I would rather wait a bit and receive a part that fits properly, than get one that was tossed out the door without any real fitment testing and have issues.

besides is cold as hell here and i dont want to be in the garage messing around right now
