1965 - 1970 B-Body LS Transmission Mount Adapters

These adapters let a 1965-1970 Impala or Caprice LS swap use a TR-6060, CTS-V T-56, MG9, 6L90E, 8L90E or 10L90E on a regular transmission mount. Longer gearboxes like these move the B-Body crossmember back, and the kit includes brackets for that.

  • Kit brackets support a rearward crossmember
  • Coupe and convertible crossmembers listed
  • Manual adapters include hardware

See the 1965-1970 B-Body LS install guide for crossmember placement by transmission. Mounts, headers and tanks are on the 1965-1970 Impala LS swap page.

Adapter by transmission

  • Impala with a Camaro TR-6060 or CTS-V T-56: use the powder coated steel adapter, bolts included.
  • If the six speed is the CTS-V MG9, order the MG9 adapter instead of the standard one.
  • The CTS-V 6L90E adapter covers the 2009-2014 automatic.
  • An 8L90E or 10L90E tailshaft takes the same 8L90E adapter.

1965-1970 B-Body crossmember notes

  • With a 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E or 4L75E, the crossmember sits on the factory frame brackets after one new hole is drilled in each.
  • For those four speed automatics, the center mounting tab of the crossmember points to the rear.
  • A 4L80E, 6L80E, 6L90E, 8L90E or six speed manual puts the crossmember further back on new kit brackets.
  • The rearward brackets can be welded or bolted to the inside of the frame, slotted holes down and flush with the frame bottom.
  • Bolting them on means drilling the inner frame and cutting a 1 inch access hole on the outside.
  • BRP lists separate 1965-1970 B-Body crossmembers for the coupe and the convertible.

1965-1970 Impala LS transmission mount FAQ

Where does the crossmember go with a 6L90E in a 1965 Impala?

The B-Body guide says longer transmissions such as the 6L90E and 8L90E move the crossmember rearward, onto new brackets supplied in the kit.

Can a 4L80E use the factory crossmember brackets?

No. The guide groups the 4L80E with the longer transmissions that need the new rearward brackets.

Is there a crossmember for a 1965-1970 Impala convertible?

Yes. BRP lists a 1965-1970 B-Body convertible crossmember apart from the coupe version.

Do I have to weld the new brackets?

No. The guide says they can be welded or bolted to the inside of the frame.
