You know I dont recall the trans crossmembers being riveted. Eight grade 8 bolts, two in the top flange and two in the bottom flange on each side. You have to remove a couple of 5/16 bolts that hold the brake line and fuel line clips. Then use a hammer to knock the crossmember to the rear far enough to clear the tail housing of the trans... The frame is factory drilled to locate the crossmember for a 350 or a 400TH.
