700r4 crossmember
I have a 1966 truck with a 230 ci inline in now with the stock truck granny trans in it.
Im getting ready to put a new 327 small block in it with a 700r4. I want to try to have everything al together before I start but the only thing Im not sure about is my trans crossmember. i shopped around amd found alot for sale but im seeing straight, 2 inch drop, 3 inch drop. Im not sure what one to order without the motor and trans in the truck.. Im sure alot of you have put 700r's in your trucks...what crossmember did you use? I could just make one but seems just as easy to buy one that looks nice. Thanks

Re: 700r4 crossmember
I bought the same one when I put my 350 in,I just moved it back and drilled a new hole too for the 700R4. It fit's great for the money

Re: 700r4 crossmember
Used a stock automatic crossmember. One was already in my 66 and the one in the 65 came out of a 67.

Re: 700r4 crossmember
This is what I would do. You just need an auto trans crossmember from a '63-'87 truck. You'll just have to drill the holes to bolt it in once you get the location. You would still have to do that with an aftermarket crossmember.
