70barracuda Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Need ideas for a transmission mount for my LS swap and new tremec trans. I'd like to keep the stock cross member if possible. In my head I'm just gonna stack square tube and weld it up. I'm worried itll be too high of a tower if that matters. Ideas??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neohic Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I’d make a mount that bolts to the stock cross member. Stand up a piece of square tube and add some gussets where it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheDog Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I would take advantage of the extra clearance and make a new crossmember that was flush with the rails. 2x4 square tube with angle iron on the ends to bolt in the stock holes. I bet that would get you pretty close with out looking butch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70barracuda Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 So this is what I came up with. It's not pretty but it didn't bend or move at all with the transmission loaded on it. Eventually id love to do a bent tube up to the trans kinda like what frankthedog said. But this will do for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheDog Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Get everything else dialed in and then make a nice crossmember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
