in the middle of swap please help!
in the middle of swap please help! okay I am in the middle of swapping a 2002 ls1 and 4l60e into my 95 v6 5 speed camaro. I bought a wrecked 02 for the swap and also bought a lt1 body style crossmember for my tranny. well it wont fit.(see pic) using the lt1 crossmember and the 02 tranny mount. I looked at an lt1 tranny mount and it looks like it wont work either. What are you guys using for this? I cant even modify the crossmember cuz the bolt isnt anywhere near it.
thanks!
thanks!
wow so the LT1 cross member is actually a few inches to forward? I thought the only difference between the two was how the crossmember bolts up to the body.
You may have to get a small plate welded on and drilled for the mount.

When I put in a poly Z28 mount in my 3.4, I had to elongate the slot a little bit.
Try making a cardboard mock up adapter plate then take it to a shop to get welded, I cant see that costing too much. You could always go with a UMI or BMR crossmember as well. Ryan @ UMI is pretty knowledgable and can tell you what product you need.

(Sorry "Pop") Yeah, exactly. If you grind the paint off of the back of your existing crossmember, then get a small piece of steel that's formed like an upside-down squared-off 'U' & weld it to the back of the crossmember, then you should be able to drill a hole for that bolt (or "pin") to go through. Voilą, you're done.And don't try to get away with just a flat piece of steel! Given what the piece is doing, you're going to want some strength in the vertical plane!!
Good luck.
