Bought this 89 notch a few years ago. It was a complete car. I got it home, drove it up the road 1/4 mile whipped a shitty came home and gutted it. It sat for a couple years. In the middle of my cobra build, I had an opportunity to buy someone out of their swap parts. Seller was from Alabama and we met in Kansas. Swapped the parts and here we go....

Great thread.
Is that a UPR next to the MM K?
Yes, I was having fitment issues for almost a year! Ultimately I decided it had to be the K member. I purchased the MM K. First off I noticed it was extremely heavy compared to the upr and I immediately wished I didnt have to swap them. The MM wasnt even close to mating up to the frame rails using arh headers. My fitment issues ended up being a 1/2" shim between the motor mounts and motor. I milled it down 1/4" and everything lined up. So I kept the upr and sold the MM. I added the pics in case someone wanted to see a side by side comparison.
