Default t56kit transmission crossmember

So I got my transmission mount last week - all powdercoated, came with nice plated bolts, and looked like a masterpiece. On top of that, it fit in the car INCREDIBLY. When we ordered it, he told us we'd have to do some modifying to make it work with an LS1...it was an absolute BREEZE!!! it fits perfect...quick, good service with an amazing product - Nice job guys, you should expect a lot of business!!

Glad to see it worked better than expected. We decided to make an all new LS1 specific T56 crossmember to complement our new engine mounts, road race oil pan, and tri y headers.
Shoot me some pics so we can put your car/installation on our website.

Just curious (not trying to be a jerk or anything) but what is your project? Why a T-5? If it is for cost reasons that makes sense but if you are putting it with an LSx motor, I kinda doubt it will hold up to the power......

It's not a drag car, I'm not a teenager, far from it, I don't need to bang 2nd so hard it throws the driveshaft, it's what I have at this time, and everyone thinks there T-56 is worth it's weight in gold,most I see are $1500, and if I need to go real fast I go drive my Nova with the BBC in it, It'a a 68 Camaro SS LS1,T-5, big brakes etc, I've seen Mustangs go 10's with out breaking them, Let me know what you think, Steve
