The Roltek transmission that’s going into our 1965 Mustang vintage race project is Chevrolet-based, not Ford. So before we could mount the Energy Suspension transmission mount that we sourced from Cobra Automotive, we would need to modify our crossmember to fit the Chevy-style mount.
The first thing we did is cut the emergency cable mounting tab from the transmission …
Nice. Is it worth it to box that cross member?
I did a similar but slightly more involved mod when I put a T5 into my 1964 Dart.
I don' much see the benefit of boxing the trans member - Possibly if Drag racing on sticky Tires.
I guess I am over thinking this. When the engine is solidly mounted it would be difficult to twist the transmission cross member.
