Engineered to facilitate installing a Chrysler 518 overdrive automatic transmission into a 1970 - 1974 Dodge/Plymouth Mopar B or E Body car. Requires additional fabrication and welding.
Made from 3/16 thick steel, this replaces the factory transmission cross-member transmission mount. Provides the additional height and width required to for the 518 Transmission. Additional clearance may be required including cutting the factory crossmember for the transmission tail-shaft and the speedometer or VSS cable/sensor. The factory floor remains in the original location. Requires welding in the replacement USCT transmission mount tab. The tab is designed to accept the common GM 2 bolt style mount transmission insulator. The USCT cross-member is a fully boxed section, engineered to provide the structural integrity that would be lost by removing the factory cross-member. The kit includes the cross-member, lower transmission mount tab, Grade 8 mounting hardware and instructions for installation. The GM style insulator (#10473052) is not included and is available in almost every auto parts store. The components are factory jig welded, ready for installation. Requires fabrication and welding to install.
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.
