Post pics of the Xmember. Looking at their website it does not look like the ones on the 67 and 68 I just finished.

Oh nooooooo. Dingo mounts still ??? Also what body bushings are you using ???

Yes, Dirty Dingo sliders. The body bushing are Speedtech solid bushings.

Do you think the Holley mounts will lower the engine ?? Also are those solid mounts thicker from top of frame to body than stock ? How far away is the collector from the cross member ??

The X will work on both LS and SBC/BBC. Just make sure it for the TKO500/600 and not the T56

John, FYI, the TKO x member will NOT work on a BBC. BBC cross members have a different # 0013. SBC and LS # 0008 as per Hurst.

Shawn, your red trans mount looks awful large. Here is what SST sent me.

Donny can you please give the the measurement, thickness of the mount they sent you? I am pretty sure the one I have installed is the same thickness as the one that Silversport sent me. Thanks

OK will do. *****1 3/4 inches thick.

Shawn, how much room is between the end of the header (collector) and x member ? Just curious.

Thanks Donny. I will measure mine first thing in the morning.

Mine is 1 3/4 " as well.

Approximately 5 inches. I am sure I can make it work. I am just worried I am doing something wrong because I am not having the same success others are having with this combination. Thanks again for the help.

OK thanks for the measurement. The 5 inches is at the end of the collector adapter or the header without the collector ?? I'm just wondering if a muffler shop would have enough room to make a slight bend in the pipe to go under the x member.

You will need the Holley slip on collector adapter: https://www.holley.com/products/exhaust/builder_components/exhaust_components/parts/42107HKR

The 5 inches is at the end of the collectors. I not sure if there is enough room or not. I think they would have to bend the collector adapter.

Thx Bud.

These are pics of a BBC Manual x member. Although it's not a TKO, it shows that the member gets up closer to the body. This was the same style xmember I used for my T56 in my Chevelle with a 454....

Ok if your O2 sensors are in the collector as opposed to the reducer it no prob for a good muffler shop to do a slight S bend so the exhaust pipe goes under the X.

I just took my buddy's 69 to my exhaust guy Thursday to do almost the exact same thing on his.

Came out great.

Yeah I think they should be able to make it work. Thanks

Shawn, you ever get your exhaust figured out ??
