Custom 700R4 Crossmember

Here is a link to some pictures of the crossmember we made to install my 700R4 in my '66. I hope someone finds it useful.

No sir! How do you guys post the pics from the link?

How many? I think it'd be cheaper if I made more.

Hey Roman,
I have a rebuilt 700r4 that I was going to put behind my 350 in my no-door '64. It has a power glide in it now. Looks like you had to cut the factory cross member for tail shaft or drive shaft clearance. Is that right?

No it just looks that way from that angle.[img][/img]

I'd buy one depending on the price...what do ya think?

I think I wish I had extra time to do stuff like that. I have the whole one side of my garage with over 10K in brand new parts that I don't have time to get started. I work a lot and have one of these...[img][/img]

No wonder you dont have time.....

HAHA! I totally understand. I have a small heating and a/c business that takes up a lot of my time too. My youngest is 12 now, but the family thing has to be first priority. Keep me in mind if ya find time though.

No problem...I might be selling the whole trans set up anyway. I have something else in mind. I'll know within the next month...keep you posted.

Cute lil one Roman.Do you have a dwg/blueprint/dimensions on that hanger?

No, just kinda measured it and welded as we went. Just measured the mounting width and the drop where the trans mount is and figured the curve. A little pipe bending and zapping and voila!

Cute one of those you have there. Trans mount is good looking too.

Thanks holmes.

I, too, would be interested in purchasing that crossmember from you. Or pay you to build one exactly like it. The PO of my van welded a chain to each framerail and ran a bolt thru it to the tranny. I don't feel safe driving this way, but i can't weld. Would you reconsider building more of those?

Ok =Guys= how many of us want a x-member -that we can bolt or weld in our vans that will fit 700's,350,400,2004r ect-?? give me an idea- maybe ill get into this??

I see this didnt exactly go anywhere did it. Well, if anyone does start making them, put me down for one for a 700r4 for my 65.

Don,
What transmission are do you have?

It looks like it was made for it.
