Re: Lets see Pics of Motor mounts and Trans crossmembers!

hotrod1, Here is a picture of the one I built for the truck I am working on. I used 1 5/8 Dom tubing. It has 2 bolts at the pionts where it attaches to the frame. The motor mounts using the s10 V8 mounts , nothing special.

Re: Lets see Pics of Motor mounts and Trans crossmembers!

Here is the one I did. I wanted to use the exsisting frame crossmember so I ground off the rivits and moved it forward about 8" and did the mods you see. The bottom is 2X3 tubing and it is held with bolts so it will drop out and allow me to remove the TH-400 and OD without taking everything apart. I try to plan for MURPHY as we seem to have a special relationship.

Great shots parkwood.

Does anyone know why you do not see the transmission crossmember in back (closer to the tail of the trans) of the mount higher up with the mounting plate on the bottom of the tube so the trans corssmember is raised from the ground?

Not sure these will help because they're from a '52 chevy car.
