Trans Mount Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**The Rocknrod** · 08-11-2015, 03:18 PM

I am trying to fit my engine transmission in the 64 Step side Short bed and have a 2X4 board across the lower frame rails holding up the trans under the trans mount. It’s not hitting the body/tunnel but just barely, it clears.

What type of trans crossmember mounts would come close to this (automatic tranny), does anyone know? I’m going to use a column shift setup. Thanks.

I bought the kit from Performance Online.

Did you use both the trans and engine mounts?

Yes, I used both. Bought through Ebay and got it for cheaper and free shipping.

I am using their engine mounts thats why I asked. "If" I need to raise the rear of the tranny I can use an aluminum spacer/block I suppose.
I'm attempting to match the pinion angle so I will have to use a 6 degree shim in the rear since (lowered) I'm using the stock trailing arm crossmember.
Thanks
