I finished mocking up the cross member with plywood and willduplicate in aluminum. This design will eliminate the need for the over thetrans cross member. I think with a few modifications this cross member could alsobe used with a stock torsion bar suspension as well.
Thanks
Pat

Had a friend weld the aluminum cross member for me and I thinkit looks great! With a little adjustment it fit as good as it looks!
Thanks
Pat

I add a flange at each end and I need to weld on the endcaps to the original cross member. Also reused the original crush brace for thenew hole I added for the cross member.

For anyone interested here is a drawing of how I thinkthis cross-member could be made to work with a stock torsion bar suspension.

Thanks

Thank You! I'm hoping the stock carpet will still fit, they usually have a few inches left over at the doorsill.

My carpet (trim parts brand) was already trimmed to the original floor and still fit after the mods if that makes you feel any better.

I made a shifter cover with a similar shape as an original 4speed cover using a wood block and a press. This will cover will be removablefor shifter access.
