I've been searching online for awhile for this and can't find one for my year car. The car came with a 460 in it however I don't trust the K member installed as the welds look terrible nor were they complete. Is there any place I can get one that would bolt in properly that I can make sure it's lined up and done right? I would like to keep the motor I have as I already have a bunch of top end parts and a spare motor and trans. Appreciate the help y'all.

The 71-73s didn't have a K member, that's a Mopar and Fox & up Mustang thing.

Some pics of what you're dealing with would help.
Sorry for the late reply the car isn't where I'm living so had to get the photos when I was in the area. So this is what I've got in the engine bay hopefully it can give y'all an idea what's going on.

That's a Mustang II crossmember and front suspension conversion setup. If you're not happy with it, you can grind and re-weld everything so it's strong enough to your satisfaction. Not much else you can do. These are not bolt-in setups.

As you can see it's been updated to coilovers up front as well.
