Oil pan gasket on a fox???

Question I had in general, I can still use my solid mounts on a tubular k member right?

The AJE does away with the standard engine mounts. There is a poly-isolator in the mount to dampen vibrations.


The engine plates bolt to the block and they have tabs that come down over the k-member mounts(shown above).
With the plates, Without the engine:

Yes. If you are swapping k members just continue to add oil to it.

$280 for the k-member
$70 for the engine plates - If you decided to change engine type later, you just need a different set of plates.

Damn, late model had the listed at 100$ mark up..

I really like my AJE K-member.

The team z are 289$ they are not choromoly though. The chromoly ones are closer to 400.

Lucky, I'll invest in a team z k member here soon.

if i were planning to do a k-member in the near future i'd just wait. it'll be a HELL of a lot easier with the k-member out.

I did mine without raising the engine... but I've got a tubular K-member that allowed just enough room to fish the one-piece gasket through.

I remove the rack bolts and separate steering shaft let it hang. Pull pan bolts and clean corners and surface as best you can. I cut the old gasket and pul it out. Then I just weasel the gasket down under the pick up and crank and clean it off with a rag and brake clean. Put grey rtv in the corners and where the front cover meets the block and put it back together. This works and never had one leak after.

But by seep you mean dripping or just wet around the mting surface. Gaskets seep and I wouldn't go through the trouble if its not a leak.

It drips.

Mike you can borrow one of my hoists if you want .

Thats what I had figured.

I'll prolly have to rent a picker, and then it'll be easy.

Thanks for the info!

I got one. How much you wanna give for a rental? I'm in keller.

I've done it by putting the car as high as possible up on jackstands, loosening the motor mounts, lifting the motor with a cherry picker and dropping the pan on the K-member, but it is definately a job for more than one person (and patience).

I've done it this way before by myself. It's a pain in the ass but it's definitely do-able. I actually had to change the oil pump.

floor jack, and a block of wood under pan, lift it up off frame, and put a block of wood under each side where mounts are, and lower down.. otherwise invest in a lift, you can rent them at a rental palce
