The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop building my engine x member today

i going to build my x member for my engine today hopfully.i am plannig on using camero [i know i cant spell] ruber mounts on it. my question is should i replace them with polymounts after it is built and painted or is rubber fine? i am going to be running a very healthy small block chev in it. and what advice do you guys have for the tranny x member. it is going to be a t350or t400 trans.

I used stock rubber motor mountsin my chevelle for over 100,000 miles without any problems. have heard a lot of good things about poly mounts, but I'm going to stick to rubber mounts when I drop my 383 into my TF truck. As for the trans x member I was just going to use a typical tube x member from classic or another vendor, but I plan to follow in up with the installation of a boxed driveline loop a little further back from AM Morrison. Then I will feel a little better about removing the stock trans crossmember when I convert to V8 with a T400.

cool thanks for the advice. looks like you building a very healthy pickup yourself. judging by your parts list you have listed on the bottum of your post.
