It used to be that all Mustangs had a Ford engine in them, but the platform is such a hit with the drag racing crowd that people began dropping small-block Chevys and LS engines in them. That thought has spread to include even Hemi engines, as well.

Team Z’s Outlaw K-member kit is compatible with increased capacity oil pans and engine diapers. The Outlaw K-member moves the steering rack in front of the oil pan.

Team Z Motorsports’ new Fox Outlaw K-member makes it easy to put whatever engine you prefer in your Mustang drag car. Its design and construction allows for increased capacity oil pans, and since the Outlaw K-member uses motor plates, that makes it easy to add your choice of engine. The chromoly Outlaw K-member bolts in the stock Fox location, and is available as a kit or individual components.

The Outlaw K-member kit includes the K-member, lower control arms, coilover kit, tie-rod kit (welding required), and a Stiletto steering rack. With the K-member, lower control arms, and Stiletto steering rack, Team Z’s Outlaw rack features proper steering geometry. Available separately are 2-inch drop spindles, and your choice of Strange Engineering, Afco, Koni, or Santhuff struts. The Outlaw K-member is also available for 1994-’98, and 1999-’04 Mustangs, as well. Team Z also has motor plates compatible with most engine combinations.

Andy Fangman took this car in on trade, and at that time it was powered by a 4G63 import combination. Fangman races for a special reason, as well. His daughter Josie has Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome, an illness causing her to get really sick if she eats certain foods. Fangman uses the car to raise awareness, and you can check out www.fpiesfoundation.org for more info.

The car Team Z’s Outlaw K-member is installed in here is Andy Fangman’s Hemi-powered Fox coupe.

“The engine was built by my father, Tom Fangman.” Andy says. “It’s a Brad Anderson 5-headed TFX, 540-inch Hemi originally owned and raced by Kenny Bernstein.” In Fangman’s Fox, it utilizes a ProCharger F-1X blower with a Supercharger Store gear drive. Behind the Hemi is a Reid-cased PTC Powerglide and converter. Moran 500 lb/hr injectors take commands from a Big Stuff 3 engine management system, and the Hemi runs on methanol.

For those in the market, Team Z’s Outlaw K-member sells for $1,679.
