You dont need a new K- member but i THINK you will need a new double hump transmission mount. (i know im going to need one)

This past week i just removed a 2.3L and an auto from an 88LX. If you come across any problems, just pm me and i can help you out.

p.s. have fun with the tranny bolts to the engine

Trust me, you won't get any love from the 4-banger guys when you ask about swapping a V8. It hurts their precious little egos.

You're good to go with the existing K-member, and unless you plan on going with an '82-'84 spec single exhaust system you will need the double hump trans support.

Good luck with your project.
