    One side is slotted...but I measure 12" to 12 1/2".

    Hope this helps.

    Hey Craig - that sounds like the transmission crossmember. I need the V8 engine crossmember. I should have been more specific. :slap:

    I have one in the garage that is 29 1/2 inches bolt center to center, from a standard 68 Cougar. Was wondering if it would fit. Thanks anyway.

    Thanks - I was afraid the Cougar was a little wider.
