Re: 6 cyl vs. 8 cyl crossmember differences

I'm not aware of a difference in crossmembers. There is a difference in the towers for the motor mounts.

Re: 6 cyl vs. 8 cyl crossmember differences

Four wheel drive trucks with an original 292 had a diagonal X-member [more forward on the Passenger side] to accomodate the asymetrical 292's motor mounts. These cross-members are hard to find now. L6 292 in K/ trucks only.
Two wheel drive [C/ trucks] only had different towers for the 292. Other L6s used the same mounts, either side.

Re: 6 cyl vs. 8 cyl crossmember differences

Thanks for the input guys. So if I understand this correctly, the only difference in a 2wd c10 between the V8 and the I6 is the motor mount perches, the actual cross members are identical. Thanks for setting me straight.
