USCT Motorsports Transmission Tunnel Perimeter Frame for installing a larger transmission into a 1970 - 1974 Mopar E Body, Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Cuda.
Gen3 Hemi swaps are becoming more popular and with the swap, comes the desire to run late model overdrive automatic transmissions. The perimeter frame replaces the factory restrictive floor/transmission hump and adds the structure needed when removing the center of the factory torsion bar cross member and makes room for larger automatic and overdrive transmissions. This has been tested to fit with the Chrysler NAG1 5 speed, HP70 8 speed, GM 4760 & 4L80 and the Tremec Magnum 6 speed manual. Other transmission will fit, please call with your transmission dimensions and we will help. The perimeter frame is laser cut and CNC bent to follow the contour of the factory floor and includes a laser cut and CNC bent top cover.
Made from 12ga Steel, 3/16 steel and an 18ga top cover the USCT Motorsports Transmission Tunnel Perimeter Frame requires substantial cutting, welding and grinding to install. A fully illustrated instructional manual is included and available for download on our main web site.
You MUST install a USCT Motorsports Level 1 Chassis stiffening kit (frame connectors and torque boxes) before installing the Transmission Tunnel Perimeter Frame. The frame connectors and torque boxes tie the factory unibody together and work with the Perimeter Frame to make your car strong and safe when removing the OEM factory torsion bar cross member center for transmission clearance.
Requires a Cross member (not included) for your specific transmission. We have them for the 727, 518, NAG1, HP70 and a universal cross member.
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
