I need a measurement if someone has there car in the air. I am building a cross member for my 4l80. The problem is my cross member is spanning from my subframe connectors not the stock cross member mounting points. I am looking for a measurement from each pinch rail to center of the transmission mount so I can make sure my drive train is in square.

 

You should just measure on your car. Nothing about these cars are usually square at this point.

 

What I am curious about is if the transmission is centered or offset in these cars.

 

If I had to guess I would say slightly offset to the passenger side because that's how the motor is set in there for more steering linkage room.

 

That is kind of what I am thinking. Just looking for a measurement so I can get an idea on locating it.

 

I completely forgot you asked for this. I will put a reminder in my phone to do it tonight and I will text you with what I find when I get it done. Sorry about that.

Bump, I know Evan has allot going on. I tried to test fit my driveshaft and it wont clear my bmr track pak torque arm. I tried prying the transmission over but I am getting minimal movement. My engine is an ls engine with solid motor mounts. This is sitting on a pa racing k member. I know the transmission it to far over to the driver side but unsure on how much it is. I already loosened the engine mount bolts.

 

Drill out the mount holes for more play, but don't expect much play. Don't worry about side to side alignment beyond driveshaft clearance

 

Well after doing allot of measuring I figured out the engine mounts on the k member are on there wrong. PA racing said they would re jig it up at no charge but I pulled the trigger on a motor plate and mid plate from aei. So I will get this figured out when the plates get here.
