Im currently in the process of swapping my 2.3 for a 351. I dont want to tear the car down until the motor and trans are completely ready to go in. I'd like to keep the car running as long as possible for logistical reasons. My question is can I swap the K member to a tubular unit and keep the 2.3? I wanna swap the suspension, and do my 5 lug conversion and keep the car driveable. Any help is appreciated.
