Re: automatic trans mount?
Ever since last year that's how I've been running; see this thread.
Auto Transmission Crossmember mod.

Re: automatic trans mount?
It's a stock set-up, that's why I'm not concerned. Stock 350V8/TH350. I feel the x-member w/o the top parts is strong enough.
If I was going to run 450+hp, then I think I would remove the rivets to the top part and weld the top and bottom of the stock x-member together to make it a one-piece x-member.

Re: automatic trans mount?
the top piece of crossmember helps support the frame rail to resist twisting forces

Re: automatic trans mount?
With those hp numbers (450+) you don't want to settle on a weak x-member.
