Crossmember
To get a 5.3L and 4L60e to fit, does the crossmember have to come out?

Re: Crossmember
Yes remove the bellhousing crossmember. It is not needed for an auto trans and it will just be in the way.

Re: Crossmember
You will need to support the rear of your 4L60E, do you have a xmember for the trans mount

Re: Crossmember
I have a crossmember for the auto tranny.
I had to remove the manual tranny crossmember like y’all suggested. I also had to disconnect the e brake cable while maneuvering engine and transmission in. Posted via Mobile Device |
