What did you guys to for a trans crossmember if you used s&p plates on your old style v8 mounts? Pics please.
Thanks,
Eric

Re: trans x-member with s&p motor plates

actually i've never heard of em lol!

maybe give Spohn a call and see if they know anything about using their 4l60e swap crossmember with the mount plates. If they mount roughly within a quarter inch of their mount plates, it'll probably work out just fine.

cam- mentioned them in a thread about Trans-Dapt plates.

They should put the engine in the same place as other swap mounts, so the trans crossmember shouldn't be an issue.

A lot of unknowns in that statement, but I can't imagine any swap adapter putting things in a place such that the trans crossmember would become a problem.

There I go again. . .

(I got the Trans-Dapt plates, but haven't done any trial fitting yet - still waiting on my Skulte T56 crossmember, anyway.)

Re: trans x-member with s&p motor plates

I would still like to see pictures if someone has any. I would hate to buy a x-member and can't use it or have to modify it...
