Bell Housing Cross Member
I'll admit to this being a stupid question, but I really don't know.
Does anyone have a photo of the cross member or frame mounts that the bell housing would attach to? I need to know what I'm looking for. I'm assuming it's a cross member, but maybe it's not??? Thanks for helping with such a stupid question.

Re: Bell Housing Cross Member
there should just be a transmission crossmember and crossmember that the engine bolts to. the bell housing doesn't need to be bolted to anything other than the engine and trans. I've never heard of a bell housing crossmember, unless I've just been living under a rock for the past 19 years.

Re: Bell Housing Cross Member
That's the thing, my 4-speed doesn't have a boss for the transmission cross member and the 3-speed that's currently in there doesn't either. There's actually a u-bolt holding the tail stock of the transmission in location, sort of. I can get a BH with mounts from a C30, but he doesn't have that chassis anymore.

Re: Bell Housing Cross Member
Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. Photo is from the thread on installing a T5 Camaro transmission into a C10. Kinda answers my question on how that all fits. I guess if I can't find the proper member, then I can look at replacing the tail piece on the transmission.

Re: Bell Housing Cross Member
Thanks! That helps me know what I"m looking for. It also tells me what I currently have won't work.

Re: Bell Housing Cross Member
that u bolt does seem very sketchy. had no idea about the bell housing cross member, guess you learn something new every day. were putting a 700r4 in ours, and went with a cpp tubular mount. just waiting on engine mount bolts to throw the engine in
