Transmission Crossmember for LS Engine Swaps in 2WD GM Trucks
When planning an LS engine swap in a classic 2WD GM truck the 1988-1998 GM Truck Crossmember (2WD Only) provides a secure mounting point for both engine and transmission. Built from high grade steel with a direct fit design it reduces alignment headaches and stands up to demanding street and track use. It accepts transmissions from TH350 through 4L80 and bolts directly to frame rails on 1988 to 1998 C1500 C2500 and C3500 models for a precise installation.
Robust Steel Construction for Demanding Driving Conditions
Crafted from high quality steel this crossmember forms a solid foundation that resists bending and fatigue under heavy torque and repeated loads. The thick wall tubing and reinforced plates deliver exceptional rigidity to minimize flex during hard acceleration or track use. Each weld joint is laid out to provide uniform strength across the entire assembly so you can count on consistent performance mile after mile. By choosing a heavy duty build you reduce potential points of failure and gain peace of mind on long highway runs or spirited drives.
Streamlined Installations with No Welding Required
This crossmember eliminates the need for custom fabrication or frame cutting by dropping neatly into the factory rail location and bolting in place. Preinstalled mounting points and included hardware guide you through a straightforward fit process that can save hours in the garage. Whether you are a DIY enthusiast or a professional technician the no welding approach reduces tool requirements and simplifies adjustments on the fly. The result is a clean installation that maintains chassis integrity and keeps service bays focused on tuning rather than metalwork.
Precision Fit for 1988 to 1998 GM 2WD Truck Frames
Engineered specifically for 1988 through 1998 GM C1500, C2500 and C3500 two wheel drive trucks this crossmember aligns perfectly with existing frame holes. The exacting CAD based design matches original factory contours so there is no trimming or filler metal required. By maintaining proper geometry between the LS engine and transmission your driveline angle stays within optimal range and vibration risks are reduced. This level of accuracy also aids in proper brake line and exhaust clearance without guesswork during assembly.
Versatile Transmission Support for Custom Powertrains
Designed to accept a broad range of transmissions including TH350, 700R4, 4L60 and 4L80 this crossmember gives builders the freedom to choose a drive train that suits their performance goals. It offers reinforced mount points that hold each transmission securely under high torque loads without shifting or distortion. For electronic cases like the 4L60E or 4L80E no bracket modification is needed, saving time and effort during final assembly. This adaptability makes it ideal for street rod projects and high output builds where transmission choice is key to achieving desired shift feel and gear ratios.
Engineered for precise fit and reliable support in your LS engine swap.
