So I'm in the process of putting a built 5.0 in my new edge Is there anyway i can make my own motor mounts for the v6 k member for the 5.0
I have a friend who said it is possible and hes done it a few times on these swaps or am i better off putting a sn95 5.0 k member in until I can order one off jegs

Let me get this straight. You have a real person that has actually done this swap more than once that says it can be done but for some reason you doubt him/her?

The follow up question that I have is "what's the big hurry?". How is it worth the effort to swap/rework a K-member more than once instead of just waiting a few days for a part that has apparently already been ordered to arrive?

What are we missing?

I'm asking if i can make my own motor mounts from the v6 k member for the 5.0 to get the car going . I do not doubt him at all but I'm having trouble getting a hold of him I see most of these k member require aftermarket A arms and such I'm trying to save up money for them. I know the swap can be done no doubt about that only thing I'm doubting is the k member issue

So did you end up swapping k members or did you use 5.0 mounts on factory k member? Doing the same swap and hear different opinions on k members...

94-95 K-member. You’ll need to swap to 94-95 spindles as well due to the steering rack being mounted about 1” higher.
