NOTE: Read Before Starting Installation
- This Crossmember kit is designed to be used exclusively with Doug’s Engine Mounts, part #SK102 or SK102-A. Use of any other motor mount kit can case fitment and vibration issues
- Doug’s Oil Pan part # SKOP100 is required for engine crossmember clearance
- You will need a GM Style Transmission rubber mount such as Anchor #2268 or Energy Suspension #3.1108.
- Included in this kit are 2 transmission spacers, depending on your transmission you will either use one of them or neither.
- This installation requires that you mount your LS/LT engine using the Doug’s SK102/SK102-A before attempting to install this crossmember. Your transmission of choice will need to be installed to the motor and raised tight against the floor. If you are using a 4L80, T56, or 6L80 you will need a “High Hump” floor tunnel, these are available from most Classic Chevy Truck parts outlets. It is also highly recommended that you install New rubber body mounts before proceeding to allow maximum transmission clearance.
INSTALLATION
- Make sure the tail shaft of the transmission is raised as high as possible.
- Mount the Transmission Rubber mount to the transmission and tighten.
- If you have a T56, the mount will sit directly on the crossmember. If you have a 6L80, 4L60, TH350, or 700R4 you will use the 11/16” tall spacer. If you have a 4L80 or TH400 you will use the 1” tall spacer. Lift the crossmember up to the transmission mount with the Arrow facing Forward and bolt the crossmember to the mount using the appropriate spacer and correct length bolts. Do NOT tighten the crossmember to mount bolts, leave just loose enough for fore and aft adjustment.
- Slide the left and right-side bracket (marked R & L) above the lower frame rail and bolt them to the crossmember using the 3/8” bolt, washers and nuts. Tighten the two bolts on the flat surface first, then the two on the upright tabs.
- Lower the transmission until the side brackets are just barley touching the frame rail. Slide the crossmember forward or back until you can align two holes on each side of the crossmember with the factory holes in the frame. Due to GM manufacturing tolerances, you may need to slightly ream the holes with a 3/8” drill bit. Install the 3/8” bolts, nuts, and washers.
- Once everything is lined up and square, lower the trans the rest of the way and tighten all bolts to 25-30 Ft. Lbs.
