K-Member Removal with Engine in Place?

Ive done it. For the very same reason too.

Run a 4x4 across the inner fenders. Remove carb. Install 2 threaded rods into carb studs. Run studs through drilled holes in 4x4.

Did it in a backyard.

I then drive it to my old high school auto shop and repair some cracks in the frame around the kmember bolt holes.

There, I just supported the motor by the oil pan and lower the lift a tad to take some weight off the motor mounts.

You can do this on a garage floor too by supporting oil pan with front frame on jack stands with 1/2" board under stands. Then jack it up then pull boards under stands. That will take weight off motor mounts.

Tie steering gear to frame to hold it up.
