The dudes at American Powertrain just keep coming up with more and more cool products. And since we’re in the middle of building an engine for a ’66 Chevy II, we thought this one was particularly cool. The new X-Factor crossmember for ’62-’67 Chevy IIs is a super simple and quick way to install a 700r4/4L60e/4L65e or TKO transmission while also shaving some weight. It’s less than $350, will bolt in quicker than removing the stocker, and makes all the important bits bolt up right where they are supposed to. If you are looking to do a trans swap in your Chevy II this is the way to go.
