Anyone that's done it. what did you all do for the rear crossmember move? Modify the original? and if so, how much fab was needed?

Did you do the job? What did you run into/learn?

everything is on hold right now. crazy spring around here. I have obtained another C body cross member to modify, I was going to do it from scratch and try to offer it to others but with zero interest doesn't make much sense. Come this fall I'll dive back into it.

I secured a second cross member to modify for my a500. Don't really plan to ever have a 727 back in it but c body cross members are very plentiful.

Thanks for the update.
I missed your ad. I'm not on the site every day. However, I might be interested in a cross member. Would need cost?
Link to your ad or original post offering x-member?

Finally getting around to the swap. Unfortunately I had Rotator Cuff surgery 2 months ago so need to recruit help only to get the reality slap. I totally didn't even think about torque converter bolt spacing difference between old/new. New flexplate on order. I'm guessing December will be when I really get a chance to attack the crossmember.

Some progress.
