Re: Porterbuilt Crossmember
Yeah my tail shaft is not drilled although Im sure I could get it drilled and just fab a simple tail shaft crossmember. That would be the most inexpensive route to drop this thing but it still looks like the trans itself is VERY close to dragging before the frame would, but I've been told the porterbuilt dropmember does raise the engine up slightly?
Another side thought, If I come across and automatic I would prefer to have that anyway, I've read there are some clearance issues with the trans tunnel combined with a dropmember? Thanks for the input! Gears are turning... |

Re: Porterbuilt Crossmember
I'm not entirely sure but I believe the Dropmember comes with a tranny crossmember that you might be able to use. Check out DLOE's thread, he's got a Dropmember and an I6.

Re: Porterbuilt Crossmember
He sure is, sick build too. He is using a 292/200r4 it looks like. Ive never had to mate an autmoatic so Im a little hesitant but I wouldnt rule it out. Thanks for showing me that build, great motivation! (porn)
