Do I need a 66 and later trans mount? Probally need the later tranny cross member It has been a while since I've done the early B body to later 727 swap, I'm almost positive you need the later tranny crossmember to make it bolt in and work with no other mods except maybe drilling two new holes in the later cross member and maybe sltting one side of the new cross member to seat up to your exeisting tranny subframes That may be on the A bodys though, to many swaps to long ago Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Do I need a 66 and later trans mount? Did you use the same trans rubber mount off the 65 trans? What engine mounts did you use? I have a 64 and everything bolted right back up. How far is it off? Did you swap to a later k-frame?

Made with high-quality polyurethane, our new tranny mount offers durability that far surpasses the Chrysler original. 8127839-TMEBC.jpg (32 downloads)
