Re: V8 swap in AD

I'm also thinking I'm going to get a proper trans crossmember. I cut up the original one a little to work but I have to unbolt the trans mount from the transmission before I can slide the crossmember out. It's a bit of a pain.

I know I won't be messing with this hardly at all, but I think I'd like to do this right and never worry about it. Also looks nicer.


So, just to clarify. All these transmission crossmembers have different drops. If I get my trans to the right height, or get the downward degrees right, I then just take a yard stick across the bottom of the frame rails right? And then measure down from center of stick to bottom base of the transmission mount? Not the base of the trans right?

I'm assuming I can use a washer or two if I need to slightly adjust the member? Either where it mounts to frame or at the trans?
