well i fabbed up the trans crossmember. being a 4L80e on top of setting the engine an extra inch back posed quite a problem. i read some where that i could modify a factory TH400 crossmember and it would work, so i bought a "factory" th400 crossmember from a member on this board. well im not saying that it wasnt bolted up to a th400 in a previous car but this crossmember wasnt what i would call stock as the mount had be relocated. i went ahead and used it just for convienence. im working with limited tools and rescources (mostly only hand tools) so i make due with what i have.
the crossmember may be a little over kill but i think it will also help support the chassis. win win. anyways here are the pics.
it ended up working out pretty good. the carb flange sits a zero level when on the ground
well i havent had a whole lot of extra time but i am trying to get my acc drive together. this is where im at. what do you guys think? i am going to get the alt where the a/c used to be and think im going to use the 3rib section of the crank to run it. any opinions?
well i have my accessories pretty much lined out. unfortunately with the combo of 1" set back plates and wanting to use the 3 rib section of the crank to run the alternator i had to notch the frame.
here is the drivers side plate i made to hold everything. im only using hand tools, a plasma and a welder so you have to stay open minded. the all thread is only temporary so that i could get the spacing tweaked
