I'm referring to the part that holds tranny up with the 4 bolts that go through the frame
I thought one from a cuda was same as my 71 charger but cuda is too short
The charger measure about 18 1/2 inches from outside hole to outside holes. Cuda is 15 1/2 inches

IIRC the 71-74 B all used the same bolt on crossmember.

Buddy of mine sent pic of a 73 satellite. The crossmember was gone. But the part it bolted to looks nothen like the 71
So it seams I'm stuck with 71-72 b body??
Thought since the floor structure was same as e body crossmember be same
But there sure not

73-74 b-body the torsion bars anchor in a crossmember that is behind the actual crossmember.the torsion bars go thru the actual crossmember. Hope this makes sense. Crossmembers are the same for the transmission.

The transmission does not bolt to isolated torsion bar crossmember. It bolts to the original crossmember as it did in 71/72.
