Search on here and the corral. I JUST made a thread on both sites about it with lots of useful information.


I ended up rotating the crossmember 180* and extending the tranny mount holes in the cross member a tad toward the front of the car. Once you get the tranny up and the cross member in...you will see what has to be done.

Oh yea, i suggest to index the bellhousing. It can be searched too. Paul(killercanary) made posts about this. You put a dial indicator on the flywheel...turn the engine over and check the "runout".

Good luck

Or you could just save time and buy an offset transmission mount and you wont have to change a thing with your crossmember. www.bieberfever.com has them, so does D&D i think.

Yea i forgot all about that. I didnt since i already had a poly mount and didnt want to waste it. But if i were to do it over, i would get the offset one.
