Engine cross member question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**ScottH** · 11-17-2007, 10:55 AM

Can anyone tell me if the engine cross member is different depending upon the engine used in a 4x4? I'd like to install a 292 and was wondering how to ID the one that is on the chassis already (no engine).

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

IIRC, it's not the 4X4 that'll cause you problems, it's the 292 has a custom engine cross member.

The 292 crossmember was not mounted in the chassis like a traditional V8 or 250 crossmember.Since the 292 has different mounting spots than a 250 6-Cylinder the crossmember is sort of sideways if that makes since,not mounted sideways but it has an angle to it.I don't have pics of a 292 crossmember but do have some of V8 crossmebers and 250 crossmembers.I think those 2 have the same one,but mounted in different spots but I'm not for sure.Post a pic of yours and we can tell.
