Notes:

• On some installations, it is necessary to remove the catalytic converter heat shield from the passenger side floor pan.
• This generation of vehicle is prone to body bushing compression, even with some southern vehicles. If the floor pan is too close to allow installation, it may be necessary to replace the body bushings. Some customers have reported that with slight interference instances, they have been able to gently lift the floor pan with the assist of a floor jack and a wood cushion, thus providing the required clearance for installation.
• The crossmember is installed so that the exhaust clearance humps are closed on the top and open on the bottom.

(Note: Distance between crossmember frame mounting holes is 53-5/8″ inches. Be sure to measure your frame FIRST ! Before you order, to insure proper selection.)

Part #RCAE installation notes :

• Crossmember is installed with transmission mounting tab positioned towards front of car, and exhaust double humps are on the top, next to floor pan.
• The supplied aluminum spacers are to provide custom height positioning of your transmission mount. (if you need them) They are positioned between the crossmember and your GM 3 hole transmission mount. Select desired amount of spacers needed and use longer bolts to insure full engagement into transmission mount. Some applications will not require any spacers.
• Some vehicles of this generation are equipped with a crossmember that bolts directly to the vehicles frame rail, while others are equipped with crossmembers that utilize tabs that set on the frame rails, embedded with a rubber liner. Our #RCAE crossmember bolts directly to the frame rails to the factory frame holes. ( Do Not Use The Rubber Pads ! ) utilize the provided 7/16″ hardware and enlarge holes in your frame rails with a 1/2″ drill-bit. If you stay with the stock size 3/8″ hardware, it is strongly recommended to use new Grade #8 fasteners to compensate.

One crossmember, both transmissions! This is accommodated by a second set of mounting holes on the crossmember to allow positioning the crossmember in the two different locations. And this is accomplished while still using the factory crossmember mounting locations. No drilling, cutting, grinding, or welding! Simple and complete instructions are included, along with new mounting hardware. Purchase your polyurethane transmission mount separately part number GMTM. Utilizes early GM double stud pattern on 1 1/2″ centers.

This crossmember utilizes the same patented G Force design that has made us the stand alone leader in high performance transmission crossmembers. The large exhaust clearance humps facilitate large diameter exhaust systems, and allow you to tuck it up tight for your slammed and ground hugging build. Buy yours today!

Important Note: When considering the popular 700R4, there are two basic transmission mount locations. One version utilizes a transmission mount directly behind the transmission pan on the transmission case. With the other version the transmission mount is located further reward and bolts to the tailshaft housing. It is crucial that you properly determine which mount location your 700R4 has. This RCB3-400 is designed to accommodate the longer tailshaft mount. If you have the shorter case mount transmission, you will need to purchase our RCB3-700 crossmember.
