K-member at the end of its life?

You can get a used good shape factory k frame for a couple hundred bucks.

That's if I can find one locally or close by where shipping won't kill you.

The salvage yards here only have the slant 6's. I know there are slant 6 to V8 motor mounts for $159.

If I can talk them down to below $100 I'll be good. But unlikely.
