Default What shield for a TH400 swap and using M6 crossmember with it??

Getting ready to start putting the motor trans back in the car. What is everyone using for a safety shield on their 3 speed auto swaps?? And how much power has anyone put to the m6 crossmember with the spacer???

I have a CSR shield on my car. Fits pretty good, pita to get to the top bolts with it on, but I deal with it.

BMR sells a crossmember with tq arm relocation, unless your spohn arm is tunnel mounted in that case you can use the M6 one if you choose, but I would get the BMR tubular one just to save a little weight.

I use a JW UltraBell and a RCI blanket.
I ran it a couple of times at the 1000hp mark with a Spohn spacer and stock M6 crossmember. No dead hooks or anything crazy though, just a couple of tire hazes and dyno pulls. I could see that thing flexing around with power if left in there, but I still use the spacer and poly mount with my Midwest crossmember.

Did you have to "make" the CSR shield fit in the tunnel or did it fit well?

I'm thinking about buying one also.

Thanks,

CSR Supershield. Fit like a glove. I agree though... The top 3 are a pain in the *** when R&Ring the trans in the car.
