4 speed transmission crossmember

Need help..swapping out a 235 with 3 on the tree to a SBC 350 with 4 on the floor with a Saginaw transmission in my 1960 c10. What crossmember am I going to need to use for the 4speed?

Re: 4 speed transmission crossmember

You should not need any crossmember. You already have a 3 speed manual so the clutch set up is the same (a different size disc may be in order) but the trans just hangs off the bellhousing with no crossmember for the tail shaft needed - just like the three speed you already have.

Even if you do need a different crossmember just modify your existing crossmember to fit. I had a 4 speed and replaced it with a TH-400 and all i did was modify old cross member

Re: 4 speed transmission crossmember

Yup, like Greg63 said, if you use your existing bellhousing mounts, no crossmember is needed. All 3 and 4 speed trucks just hung the transmission off the bellhousing with no crossmember. The only crossmember used in 60-62's was for automatics, and is very rare. Not too difficult to fab one up though.
