Transmission cross member question:-

Do you know if I need to change my transmission cross member if I am going to use TH400?
Currently I do not have the TH400 installed. Any feedback please? Thanks

I think this is what I need.

 

You'll need to figure out something with the TH400. Later seconds didnt come with a 400 and I'm not sure early ones will bolt in. Aftermarket or build your own. I made one for my truck in less than three hours.

 

Yes I might build one my self if I do not find one. But I was checking on classic industries and I found this -

and

TH 350 Crossmember - NastyZ28.com

P/N:- 3964819

 

Not sure where the holes in the sub have to be. You may have to drill new ones.

 

Yes I have to check if it uses the same bolt holes. I will ask Classis industries tech support and let you know as well.

Another one - Which frame connectors shall I go for? Hotchkis?

 

I'm not sure you'll even need a new crossmember. I'm also not sure the late 2nd gens have both mounting holes for TH350 and TH400, but since your subframe is coming out, it should be easy to drill them. I've rear that most people who do the swap either reverse the tubular mount, or redrill the holes. This is a part that I think you're getting ahead of the build on. You should wait until the subframe is out, and you have your engine and trans. Then bolt them together and lower them onto the new motor mounts on the subframe. At that point you can test fit the crossmember and trans mount, and see where the crossmember lines up. Try it both ways to see which works best.
One some of your plans you're getting worried about parts too soon. You will find yourself ordering parts and then being wrong, or being unnecessary. Considering shipping costs to Malta, you need to slow down and not pay them twice.
