FB TII Crossmember

85rx-7gsl-se · 03-24-2009, 08:48 AM

Hello,

I have an 85 GSL-SE with a S4 TII swap. Been running it around for a few years on a modified stock GSL-SE tranny crossmember, but noticed you list one actually made for the TII swap. What is the price on this product?

Thanks in advance,
Nate

Wow, I didn't think that these would drum up a whole lot of interest right away and haven't even put the car up on stands to take a look.

Well, I know what I am doing this weekend. I'll post up in this thread my progress.

While you are at it how bout some more info on the FB comp radiator/pricing

Do you have any plans for a 3" S.S. exhaust for turbo conversions?

Well the radiator is going to come in at $310, and be very similar to the FC radiator that is on the website, although it needs to be a couple inches more narrow it will be the same height, same dual core, dual pass construction and it will take the stock radiator hoses.

I don't have any plans to make an off the shelf exhaust system for the FB.

Yes. It is actually turning into a mount instead of a cross member. I have a few equally functional designs on paper right now and I am in the process of figuring out which one will be the most cost effective to make, both for me and the guy buying it.

85rx-7gsl-se · 04-01-2009, 11:32 PM

So it would be a mount that would mount to a stock FB crossmember?

Yup. Kind of lack luster huh?

I just don't see how a cross member would carry a good "bang for the buck" ratio, and I would have to offer two versions, one for the S4 and one for the S5.

So it's going to be a mounting kit, It will be the transmissions mount, hardware and new bushings for the ends of the cross member.

Hmm....Will have to see if I can make it work as my factory crossmember has already been hacked :/

Updates?

Yea kind of. I am actually leaning back towards a cross member. Although I have not yet had time to make one, just enough time to crawl under neither the car and give it a serious eyeball.

I am hoping to have the first one made up towards the end of next week sometime.
