I've been working on swapping in a T-56 for the past couple of days and finished the cross-member last night. I made it out of 1x2 rect. tubing and 1/4" thick plate. I don't have any pics right now but will get some tonight.


T-56 + Spec Stage 3 + Pro 5.0 + 4.10's =

 

Any pics??

It may be really simple but a pictures worth a lot of words.

 

sorry about taking so long, I've been more concerned with getting the car running again than posting photos. I'll have them up tonight.

 

I look foreward to seeing your pics.
I built one when I put my t 56 in last spring. I am thinking of building another one with clearance for long tubes. What does your's look like?

I apologize for taking so long, was working on my car the whole time I was home, had to wait till I was back in Colorado.

 

1x2 rect tubing. the sides are some scrap 1/4" thick channel that had already been cutdown to the perfect size I needed.

 

I used a 1" drill bit to drill the hole for the trans mount stud, then used a die grinder with a carbide bit to enlarge it when I mismeasured the cut points and had to shift it over

 

That looks alot like mine. THe only differance is I used a pc of L channel with a flat plate on it for the tranny mount.
It looks real good.

It looks identicle to the Skulte x-member.

What you should do is buy my coated longtubes with custom 3 in. mandrel Y-pipe and my T-56 double hump x-member. It would be a direct bolt-on for ya.
