700R4 / TH350 crossmember massage

[Phantomht]

spent a few hours futzing around with the cross members today.

Problem: the cross member i was using that is meant to be used with the PA Racing torque arm i have was in the way of my 3" exhaust pipes. So, i can use the PA Racing cross member and spend money to have the exhaust redone, ... or...

Solution: i took apart the stock cross member for the 700R4 trans. Flipped the top piece around, made 2 cuts with a hacksaw, bent the middle part up and flat, drilled 2 new holes.

Now i can use the stock cross member for both trannies should i ever put a 700R4 back in.
