I need the crossmember that supports the bellhousing on my 1971 chevy truck. Small block, cast iron bellhousing manual transmission. Thanks, Scott.

I have one that is out of a 68. I bought it without an engine but it had small block stands. $30.00 plus shipping. It is heavy so I am not sure what the shipping would be. Give me a zip code if interested and I will get pictures and a shipping price. Thanks

**Todd68Chevy** · 09-02-2013, 03:25 PM

I have not got a shipping quote but here are a few pictures.

If your sure that's a small block member, I'll take it. Let me know the total when you figure it out. My zip code is 54481.
Thanks, Scott.

If anyone needs a I6 member, I'll have one for sale as soon as I get a replacement.

I am not 100% sure because I bought the truck without an engine and transmission. I did not know they were different.

If it had sb stands, then it must be the right one. Does anyone else know how to i.d. the difference between I6 and V8 crossmembers?

It looks like an automatic crossmember that would support the trans back by the tailshaft. I6 and sb are the same from everything I have seen. I don't think it is the crossmember that attaches to the bellhousing. But I could be wrong so maybe someone else will come along and clarify.

It has been a couple years and several truck ago when I took this truck apart and I am no positive and did not mark the crossmember because I thought they were the same. I will see what I can find out.

If you are talking about the one pictured above then it is definately a manual transmission crossmember that has the side bell housing mounts.

I am still learning also. I do not think we will every know it all but this is a great place to learn.

The member in the pics look exactly like the one I have from the I6 setup. If the sb v8 looks that similar (which I believe it would), You'd think GM would have id'd them so there wouldn't be a mix up at the factory. Mine has a stamp dead center when looking down, on the flat part toward the front. The stamp is a "s" inside a circle.

scott-wisc · 09-03-2013, 07:35 PM

I also noticed I have slots in mine as well.

scott-wisc · 09-03-2013, 07:42 PM

This is the I6 bellhousing member

I can check it tomorrow for the stamp marking. I still have not found out anything. If you have not already posted a question on the forum, then I will. Thanks
