Summit Racing™ steel transmission crossmembers allow you to run a true dual-exhaust system with most popular GM transmissions. They have a patented double-hump design, so you don't have to compromise ground clearance by running pipes under the crossmember, and they're a complete bolt-on deal—no custom fabricating or realignment is needed. The parts are made from 1/8 in. thick boxed tubing to handle the frame-twisting power of big blocks. Order the crossmember recommended for your vehicle and transmission application.

Speedtech Performance USA frame brace kits prevent the sloppy, unpredictable feel of a weak body frame. You can increase rigidity by linking these braces to the strong structural undersides of your chassis. The braces are constructed from 1.5 in. DOM steel tubing that's computer designed, machined, and CNC-bent for consistent fitment. Speedtech Performance brace kits offer the reinforcement your race chassis demands.

One of the most effective ways to improve the stiffness and handling of your vehicle is to box the factory chassis. Hellwig Frame FX kits makes it easy for you. Rather than taking considerable time with measuring, cutting, and fitting steel panels these kits simplify the process effectively. Some vehicles have an open C-channel chassis that's only 3 in. wide at the top and bottom. This design is inherently weak in handling torsion and marginal in bending. Frame FX kits double the width of the tension side of the frame rail and close the area for dramatic increases in torsional and bending stiffness. They're comprised of 14 pre-cut 10-gauge steel panels matching the thickness of the factory frame--and fit into the weak points of the factory chassis. Hellwig engineered another panel that adds an extra mount to tie the floor to the chassis, furnishing even more strength to the entire car. In addition, brackets are provided to mount the transmission crossmember, with enough adjustment to accommodate nearly any drivetrain configuration. The increased strength via Hellwig Frame FX kits results in improved handling and ride quality, while retaining the factory chassis and mounting points.

Hooker LS engine swap transmission crossmembers are built to mount the transmission in place when switching to an LS engine. They are designed using CAD modeling/FEA analysis for optimal fitment, strength, weight, safety, and appearance. The crossmembers are manufactured from high-strength, low-alloy steel and then black powdercoated for maximum durability. They provide an engineered 3 to 3.5 degree engine/transmission inclination angle that is critical to obtaining suitable U-joint working angles. They are designed to be used in conjunction with Hooker LS engine swap brackets to provide a bolt-in installation of Hooker LS swap manifolds, headers, and exhaust systems for this application.

Silver Sport transmission crossmembers are CAD-designed from heavy-duty formed and powdercoated steel. They offer strength and accuracy, two essentials of a crossmember. These SST vehicle-specific crossmembers are stiff and resistant to deflection, meeting or surpassing the original design, meaning they won't flex during hard launches or on rough roads. They are engineered to provide the proper driveline angle eliminating installation issues seen with adjustable crossmembers, as well as vibration issues and possible U-joint damage. Exhaust and ground clearance are also taken into consideration. Silver Sport transmission crossmembers locate the transmission at not only the proper height and angle, but makes sure it stays there, regardless of power, torque, or road conditions. Order the one for your specific vehicle.
