Foxbody engine setback with 3550 trans


Recommended Posts

While the engine is out this winter I was thinking of doing the 1" setback. The only problem I see on my car is that I don't have enough room left on the cross member to slot the holes, and the cross member has already been moved as far back as possible on the tubes. Anybody with a fox and a 3550, mine has a TKO tail housing, set the engine back? Did you have to cut the cross member mounts off the car and move them back?

I have the same thing on my car except the TKO rear housing but it is a 3550. I notched the cross member and moved the trans mount further forward on the trans. I didn't do anything to the mounting tabs on the floor pan of the car. I can try to take some pictures tonight since my motor and trans is out of the car and email them to you.

Ryan, I'd also like to see how you moved the trans mount forward, if you can send me a few pics I would appreciate it.

 

I'll PM you my email.
