Speedtech / DSE X Member option

[Ben@SpeedTech]

We have a '69 Camaro in the shop getting a full drive train swap and it happens to have a DSE front sub frame already in it. If you're familiar with the DSE frame swap their old transmission X member consists of a weld in bracket and a smaller bracket that bolts to it. Here's a shot of the weld-in portion...



We've had several folks ask if an ATS adjustable trans cross member fits a DSE frame and this car gave us the opportunity to try one out. All bolt holes line up perfectly, there is plenty of clearance for exhaust and the ATS crossmember is adjustable to allow the installation of most any GM transmission as well as a T-56 and TKO. The ATS x-member isn't new but we thought we'd share our findings as a trans x-member option for the DSE frame. You can check out more at www.speedtechperformance.com

Good to know, thanks. Plus it looks better.

We all know looks count as much as performance

Just kidding, thanks for the info.

Lol! When you make parts like we do, making them look cool is just as much fun as making them functional.

On my on going G-body project, right now most of the cool mods are under the car where you can't see any of it. So much for looking cool at cruise night.

It also works in a DSE sub with the Engine moved back with the DSE engine mounts and the DSE headers.

Correct Donny you must use the mounts that move the engine back.
