    What flywheel do i have?

    t5 swap crossmembers

    is the only difference between a 65/66 and 67/70 crossmember the absense of the parking brake bracket? my 66 currently does not have an e brake so i want to use the later crossmember cuz it's a couple bucks cheaper. should i quit being a cheap ass and just get the 65/66 crossmember?
