Can a SBC bmr k-member be converted for an LS1 motor? Thanks for any help.

 

Ugh I hope someone has an answer to good a deal to pass up.

 

could always give BMR a call and ask?

i read somewhere, i think it was here, that their k-member was actually designed around a lsx engine. So i assume it would work with the proper motor mount.

Or give them a call and ask

 

I keep meaning to but kinda a good thing i didnt because... Its a spohn K-member. Guy has no clue what he really has.

 

BMR and Spohn are two different animals

BMR uses extension arms that mount directly to the engine mount, Spohn has flat pads to bolt your mount to in addition to the one on the engine block

Look at pics and see for yourself

Next, the LSx mounts are set in the V6 position which is the very rear for a stock K-member. Its a few inches off for the tubular, youd have to cut and weld or use the cheapo SBC adapter plates

In short, you can get it to work, just dont expect a breeze to install. If its a Spohn piece, dont bother sending them a msg asking to convert something. If you're not buying a new piece they give you the 3rd degree

 

I looked at the pics of the 2 and its def a Spohn peice. So could I just use the plates i have now for my swap and be ok? I dont mind a little work for how cheap I'm getting it, just cant do much cut and weld as i suck at the weld part. LOL

 

Yes, the adapter plates with the SBC block mounts

 

Yes, Spohn's SBC k-member will work with the proper LS mounts. I have Spohn's K-member and there are provision's for both SBC and LS mounts.
