How To Install a Fox Body K Member

My old K member was for the i6 and would not accommodate the new V8 engine I'm putting in the Fairmont. I had to swap the K member no matter what. I decided to go with a tubular K member and I purchased a used one from a viewer out in Washington state.
Since my Fairmont is a fox body, this video will apply to Mustangs and other fox bodies.
One thing to note. I did not show how to properly align a K member in this video. I plan on making a future video on how to do that. In the mean time, you can use the information in this video to help you sort that out.

FYI Anyone With a Fairmont or Zephyr, that is building it on a budget, you do not need to swap the k member to put in a 5.0. You can use 1979 Ford F100 302 engine mounts with the inline 6 cyl k member. The drivers side k member bracket will also need to be trimmed to fit the oil filter.

@bantz001 8 лет назад

Witness the laughter as Eric tries 4 tools to remove a bolt! 10:15-11:00 Been there. Done that. Next steps are breaker bar and breaker bar with pipe (OK, so that's usually after a futile attempt to let the air compressor get to max pressure once). Of course that's usually when the vehicle I'm working on is farthest from the tools requiring maze-running and hurdling skills over and over. I'm always amazed at the pile of tools I have to put away at the end of a job that were required to get it done.

@muadeeb 8 лет назад

I went ahead and watched that Power Nation video on the K member alignment, and man what a different feeling show. Love your laid back attitude. Their felt like a sprint the whole time. Guess it's the difference between showing a weeks worth of work in 20 minutes vs your day in 30.

@99GrandAM3400 8 лет назад

Just did the same trick with the hood prop last night doing voltage and voltage drop on a car, needed the throttle to stay down. I've used them to do the bleed trick or to check brake lights when working alone. They do however make a special pedal depression tool (lisle) which i've been thinking about buying. I don't use it often but sometimes you only need to raise RPM up a light bit but the seat cushion is too slippery if leather and the hood prop falls off because of it's weight, so that's where this tool comes in. Just figured i'd make mention! My wallet hates my tool addiction but my sanity on the job thanks me for it.

@rhkips 8 лет назад

I once had a 1932 Ford Model A come down on me and some friends while we were pulling the rear end out of it. Fortunately nobody was injured, but it was a very expensive and very heartbreaking mistake. You can never be too safe with a car that's on a lift! That tube frame is a beautiful thing! Some day, I shall learn how to weld, and start making tube frames for everything!

@jgrof2000 8 лет назад

Been following this project since I found it on the interwebs. I used to help a neighbor (when I was a kid) put "totaled" cars back together. We fixed two of these fairmonts, well 1 fairmont and 1 zypher (same car only merc). Kinda fun watching an old one come out of moth balls.

@reneneron2971 7 лет назад

Nice job, Eric. Note that those aren't struts; they're shocks. Remove them completely prior to dropping K member to reduce the risk of them swinging out and hitting you or the car during removal (you almost dented one of your fenders). This would also allow you to simply remove the springs (using a jack or similar for safety) rather than cutting them with a torch under compression (presents other risks, including fire, burns, or the spring flying out as it is being cut). Also, PBBlaster or other penetrating solvent is your friend prior to removing any fasteners, particularly crusty suspension bits exposed to the elements for nearly forty years.

@audiogarden21 8 лет назад

lmao. I literally laughed out loud at "pee pee vision". I love you Eric. You crack me up bro.

@TdrSld 8 лет назад

Eric, I can't tell if you did this but I would make a plate to sandwich the rear K-member bracket since you ovaled the holes. This well help spread the load of the bolt over the whole of the surface.

@warmowed 8 лет назад

I love it when Eric breaks out the air tools :D something is so satisfying about seeing all that rust and dirt fly off the car as a stubborn bolt is removed.

@KOakaKO 8 лет назад

As a standard rule, ANY slotted hole should have a washer under the bolt head. The bolts that were there had flanged heads, and I suppose that was 'good enough' for Ferd in '79 - but in a situation like that it would have been advisable to put some washers on all of those bolts before putting them in place. Mainly I mention this as a matter of future reference. If you're ever bolting something on with slotted holes like that, you should really put some washers on the bolts. Even if they weren't there before.

@zx8401ztv 8 лет назад

Those damper support nuts just didnt want to leave home, A fully operational ... errr LOL so funny :-D, how dare they argue with you :). Fire comes to the rescue again, springs didnt stand a chance, such a usefull tool. You have removed many a stubborn exhaust flange to flange bolt with fire, no arguments :-). That fresh support frame looks great, smooth tubes, very nice. I hope you never lose interest in this car, there is a lot of you in it.

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

I hope you don't either. Also, I'll let you in on a little secret. I'll be doing this all over again in a future video....

@11LowDown11 7 лет назад

Just a quick note... the old K member bolts 'are' stretch the yield and should not be reused. If you wanted to replace the K member bolts it is suggested the use new flag nuts that are still available due to they're long run on the Mustang. Great build!

@ltdscott 8 лет назад

The need to hog out the rear holes is a known issue on early Fox bodies. As you've discovered, the spacing between the holes is slightly different on the later cars (which the K-members are designed for).

@oudude27 8 лет назад

Eric, your impact introductions were priceless.

@DarrenCoull 8 лет назад

Can I suggest on those bolts where you had to 'adjust' the hole spacing you make up a 1/8" plate to spread the load instead of relying on some slightly bigger washers? A little bit of peace of mind that they won't rip out if the worst happens.

@markusstrobl1067 8 лет назад

Maybe I'm a bit OCD, but when I run into this situation I use my MIG welder to fill in the extra space. Makes it look professional and no washers needed.

No worries. It's coming out again anyway. That will be covered in a future video.

@cfook 8 лет назад

Hi Eric, thanks for another great, warts and all video. Can't believe though that you've had your ramp so long but don't have a handy set of step ladders beside it!I would have checked the body and new member for their independent "squareness" before I started finessing anything though, your right, manufacturing tolerances were huge back in the day, so very odd that you had to change anything to get the bolts in.

@beechnasty 6 лет назад

At around 25 minutes, you are fitting the K member bolts to the frame; you decided to grind out the slots on the K member to accept the wider spacing. Is there a reason you chose that route instead of cutting the tapped backer plate in the middle? (Trying to learn, not trying to critique. From a structural strength perspective I would have imaged some other trimming may be more idea. What did I not think of?)

@THISLOVETHISHATE99 8 лет назад

the mistake of almost all project car builders is buying the drive shaft before installing engine transmission and differential never buy the drive shaft before you have all those are installed and sorted out the drive shaft should always come last in any build so you wont have to compromise you setup because the drive shaft does not fit with your desired build

@Chrisw678 8 лет назад

Jimmy: Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that was on the fox mustang donor car? Or maybe it was purchased separate, from an Explorer now that I wright this. Anywho if it's too big I'm sure that could be machined to fit. I bought a brand new one for my fox years back for around $100. I'm sure Eric payed way less for his used one.

@Blazer02LS 8 лет назад

The Faimont is longer so the OEM fox mustang shaft won't work. But a shaft isn't hard to make anyway.

I dont want to be that guy that constantly points out flaws eric, but that washer setup on those k- member bolts looks shady as hell, i would not sleep well knowing my car was set up like that, maybe fab up a metal plate or something to put across to give some extra strength?

@99GrandAM3400 8 лет назад

I was going to post a reply back after i read a few comments and my thinking was at least double up NEW washers so the surfaces are flat and strong. I would actually double washer all of the bolts since those heads do look like they are going to barely grab. or find a bolt with the same thread and a larger surfaced head. I as well am a bit concerned with the mashed up floppy washer on those bolts which support the entire front end.

@shawnboyd96 8 лет назад

Has anyone ever put a deck on a lift? What I mean is you kept forgetting stuff when the car was in the air. Has anyone made a staircase to a upper platform so the can just go up and down without moving the car? Or is that just a bad idea?

@Blazer02LS 8 лет назад

The usual item is a roll around stair to get you into the seat if needed. A deck or stair attached to the lift would be a PIA, it would be in the way 90% of the time.

@DanielRichards644 8 лет назад

The mechanics that do Alignments typically have a 6-7 foot step ladder, small enough to easily move around but large enough to get up in the air so they don't have to drop the car down to do crap.

@shawnboyd96 8 лет назад

I guess if I thought about it step stools and ladders are better. I was just thinking of a picture I saw of a huge tool box that had stairs to an upper part of the tool box. Like a 2 story tool box.

If you Google "huge tool box with stairs" a blue and yellow one should show. To see what I am talking about.

Do you ever wear ear protection? I imagine it gets pretty loud in there. Obviously everything is done at your own risk here I'm just curious!(:

@tevsil1 8 лет назад

Its always been more of a waist of time in my opinion. Yeah its your ears and its the only set you got but unless your useing an air hammer, which is pretty much the only tool i ever use with ear protection, the damage is pretty nominal. Plus when your doing things like that you need to hear things like parts cracking or moving on you or people telling you to move out of the way in case things are falling.

@johnferguson7235 8 лет назад

I have lived with tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and occasional vertigo (dizziness) for 15 years because I damaged my inner ears at work. I can't go to concerts anymore. When my wife and I go to a party, wedding, or dance I have to bring ear plugs to protect my hearing. PLEASE take it from me, do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to protect your hearing. Damaging your hearing can mean much worse than you needing a set of hearing aids old everyone having to scream at you when you get older. Ringing in your ears for days on end can drive you crazy.

@ericthecarguy 8 лет назад

I should wear it more but I'm almost deaf in my right ear anyway.

@johnferguson7235 8 лет назад

EricTheCarGuy There are things worse than going deaf. I had to undergo months of rehabilitation because I developed serious vertigo. Imagine being sea sick for months with no relief. There is also ringing in the ears that goes on for days at a time. Protect your hearing because the damage is cumulative over time.
