Re: 700 r4 conversion kit

alot cheaper to use an original auto crossmember if you can find somebody parting out a truck

Re: 700 r4 conversion kit

That's a nice looking cross member....I'm running(or gonna be)mid length headers , so i'm hoping to get the exhaust up so i don't see it from the side.I'll post some pics when i get this stuff in.

Re: 700 r4 conversion kit

get the CPP crossmember from Ebay, it's cheap and gives you easy access to drill new holes and get to the pan bolts. Well worth it over the hassle of re-using the original auto crossmember.
