This is a side by side comparison of the OE trans x-member & my 'modified' ECE unit. I fabbed & added the mount to the main 'center' tube of the x-member. You can see I built it to the same height as the OE unit from my 89 C3500 (it's a CC C30) that came w/a 454/th400. That's a Energy Suspension poly mount on top of the 'mount' I added. Using the OE x-member, that same poly mount would simply sit on the top of it....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
