    Hi guys I’m running a 4 speed toploader

    Swapped it in to my 1970 Mav

    Had a 200 / c4

    My donor cross member from the Mexican Mav won’t match up

    The Auto Krafters one won’t match up

    So I got the 6 cly one ordered

    My trans tunnel on the 70 looks different than the two 72s I had


    Anyone have any tips

    The '70's tunnel is smaller.

    I dunno if later crossmembers swap or not.

    The crossmember can be modified to fit I have done a couple of them, compare it with the 6 cylinder crossmember you can see what will need to be done
