chevy-2 only sells one that works ok. put one in my 67' and the only problem i had was that it tips the motor back towards the fire wall enough to require exhaust mods. with a th-350 and stock x-member i could fit a hei dist. now there isn't enough room. kw
Well I found that I will have to have a crossmeber fabricated to work. The glide crossmember isn't even close and the 400 crossmember for 68-74 won't work either. The wagon is going to the shop to have the ford 9" rear installed and will have the rest done there. All this to handle the new 383 set up. All ready getting anxious. Thanks for the help
Unless you plan to make outrageous power and really abuse it, why not go with a TH 350. You could also check out the CIIO TH2004R crossmember as I think the mount is very close to the TH400.
I always wonder why people with less than 700-800hp use a truck and bus tranny. The power you lose through one is crazy. Unless you spend a million dollars on all lightened internals. But I have no idea how much power everyones making so
The company doing the rear set up has a cross member coming that is going to work with the 400. Motor is in and hope to have it running by this weekend just to make sure all is ok and then its off to the shop. Took the glide out and found out its was fried .
Sorry for hijacking your tread:devil:...but I have the same issue! I have a 65 BBC and I just traded some work for a TH400. I'm looking for a crossmember. Anyone out there using Chevy2's crossmember? Any other manufactures making this crossmember?
If you have frame ties you can bolt the stock crossmember to the tranny and put new frame mounts on the frame ties I think you will have to trimm the lip on the front of the crossmember so it will clear the trans pan.
