LS swap cross member question

I'm wanting to do a ls swap this winter. I'm pretty sure I have to take the mid mount cross member out. I currently have a small block 4 speed in it now. The bell housing is mounted to this cross member. Basically just wanting to know if that has to be removed. Thanks

Yes, it will need to be removed, and you'll need a regular transmission crossmember.

Re: LS swap cross member question

I was actually able to use mine. I have a 5.3/t5 combo and was able to use the stock bellhousing crossmember. BUT I went with speed engineering ls swap headers and that crossmember was in the way. I ended up cutting it out. If you were to use other headers/manifolds it could stay!
