I am in the process of doing that now. I just got my driveshaft back from being shortened and I have put a 700R4 in. I am hoping I can put it back in the same place. I will find out tonight. When I was installing the new motor with transmission bolted to it I liked about a 1/2 inch from getting the motor mounts to lign up. The crossmember was hitting the pat and it only liked a little. I have since moved the crossmember and have the motor bolted in. I was hoping the crossmember can go back to the original place(fingers crossed).
I liked to have never gotton the top bolts loose from the frame on the crossmember. With the top of the frame almost touching the frame. I was kinda thinking about drilling a hole in the floorboard and drilling the top crossmember holes in the frame and making the hole in the floor the same size of a hole that plugs are available. I haven't yet looked for plug sizes. I also thought about not even putting the other crossmember brackets on.
Has anybody gone without them before?
