Crossmember Ideas

[fj40_rico]

So the sm420 is finally bolted on. Now I guess I need to build a crossmember to hold the tranny.

I searched but didn't find anything good. Wondered if you guys could post some pictures of yours (not the AA one though)


Thanks.

Rico,

I'll have to get some pics for you this weekend but my 40 ha a nice little setup on it. I'm running a 465 but the basic idea is the same. A P/O buit my x-member/skidplate when the 350 swap was done and after wheeling hard with it for over a year now, I'm glad he did. It's basically a skid plate that runs from frame rail to frame rail and has a tranny support mount right square in the middle of it. It's actually kinda sweet because it bolts in 3 places on each rail and stiffens up the frame a whole bunch. I really can't even think of a good way to describe it. I'll get some pics up for ya when I get home.
