I was wondering what to do with the frame crossmember behind the engine on my 65 half ton when I put in my new motor. The Truck originally had a three-on-the-tree and a six banger. The torque converter for my new TH-350 doesn't look like it will clear the crossmember. Will it? Thank you for your help.
I just recently swaped out my six banger in my 61 and i had to cut the crossmember to allow my 350/350 engine and tranny to fit in. You have to mount the motor mounts for the new engine on the frame but the engine and tranny won't fit in unless you cut the crossmember, or at least mine didn't!
