Well, one of the previous owners had swapped out the original engine trans with a different setup - they had a 350 engine with a 700r4 trans. Shouldn't have been an issue... BUT, when they put the transmission in, they used the original crossmember and WELDED it in place for the 700r4! So, when I pulled the motor and trans out, I had to cut out the crossmember. Thus, leaving it useless. So, that's why I had to get another one.
