Rich/Dustin:

Any pointers on modifing a C4 crossmember for a T5 this for a 65 coupe, the only infor I have foung online is  that the T5 mounts 1.75" to the rear of the car than the C4, any other information that im missing??? I will be checking driveline angles when I do this.

Any help is greatly apreciated...

Thanks in advance

you'll be spending more time than what its worth rather than just buying a new one. The only time we spend the time to make transmission mounts is when we are setting an engine back and there is no other option.

the cross member also drops down a little further along with back a little more but it all varies from the driveline angle. Make sure you have new engine motor mounts in place now rather than installing them later.

I tried to search for the Energy suspension mounts and came back empty handed, any part #´s???

TCP´s are indeed nice but way over my budget Cry
