4L60e install

Are there any problems fitting a 4L60e in a 64’ first gen g-10
behind a 250 ??? Any cutting needed? Original crossmember need to be cut out?
Any help much appreciated
Thanks

the 4l60 or 700r4 might have issues with top of bellhousing hitting rear of doghouse. in a second gen, there is a bump in doghouse to fit. i had already lowered my engine/trans to fit the 292 so i had no issues when i had the 700r4 but was forewarned it would not fit. during installing, i could see it would be tight if i hadnt lowered it. i do not think it would take much to get it to fit but it will be a tight fit or need minor adjustments to fit.

We have installed  some 700R4 trans in 1st Gens with 6 cylinder engines,,,,Rich made a fancy hanging one, I go for a 3rd Gen crossmember.....

  an education is expensive, weather you get it in college or learn threw your own experiences/mistakes. after towing the van, then the camper 400 miles home and buying another transmission, i fabbed a hanger that looped around the trans and used the factory tranny mount on the bottom. that one swung side to side and after making a couple different braces (both failed!), i just spent the $100 bucks on the speedway crossmember!!
