Default Foxbody Swap Crossmember Information (LSx) The CHEAP and Easy way

This is the transmission crossmember from a 4 Cylinder Foxbody Mustang, it has bolt on brackets. This makes adjusting or re-positioning the transmission crossmember very simple. It measures about 29.5" from end to end including the brackets and may be used on other vehicles.

Mounting it is very easy. Simply drill a hole in the "frame/subframe" and bolt it in. These brackets can be later welded in for additional strength.

This is a very cheap alternative to AJE crossmember and the AJE does not fit in early cars because of the smaller mounts/bushings.

No welding!

How does it workout for exhaust clearance?

Not sure! I have not checked yet but I don't plan on running an exhaust as of yet. Maybe a downpipe out the driver or passenger side fender.

Regardless there should be enough clearance to navigate a 3" or 3.5" pipe to the back of the car.

Probably good for a single exhaust like a turbo. Dual exhaust would be tough.

I used a V8 mustang xmember on my car. You dog leg the trans mount holes and grind the spot welds and it fits perfect I'm using a T5 trans mount also

Yeah I have the one off of my car I'm going to try. Need to look into the mount location of the 4L60E compared to the TH350
