Default 408 stroker k member issues

Well it's about time an 4 years in the making but I'm ready to drop the 408 stroker into my 84 foxbody. I need a k member to do this but I have seen many issuer with the k member. Has anyone swapped a 69 408 stroker into a 84 hatch and what was the actual k member tht you used. I'm not worried about hood clearance obviously bc I can fabricate the hood for the hight. Which k member will bolt up and accept the 408. Thanks guys.

Yes jegs say the do carry it. No it does not bolt up. The quA1 is I guess junk for what I have been told. I'm running aftermarket Moroso 9 qt with a windege trap. I guess all this is a horrible set up with my 84 that I already invested this to go into. Qua1 not junk but doesn't bolt up. Need someone who has done this set up to help. I'm ready to drop and roll here come spring

I have a 351 with a Moroso pan in my '89, and this is the k-member I used:

I tried to use drop-solid motor mounts, but the oil pan wouldn't clear the k-member so I used these stock height motor mounts:

No disrespect to your machine guy, but the tubular k-members are the same from 1979-1995.
