Re: Do I need a trans cross-member w/t5 swap?
No crossmember needed if you have a carrier bearing. It gives enough support to the rear. You may run into an issue with the s10 rear trans-mount tang that sticks down from the tail of tranny interfering with your E-brake cross-member, from what i've read of guys doing this swap in a C10. My 64 Suburban's E-brake assembly bolted right back up and cleared everything perfect. Maybe the truck frames are setup a little differently?
