My frame only has one set of bolt holes on the drivers side. Which crossmember will work for TH350? I'm not able to get the motor and tranny over to where the frame is yet so I was hoping somebody knows So I can have it powdercoated before the motor and tranny install.

thanks for reading this

The crossmember on top came from a 86 el camino and the one on the bottom came from my 83 el camino but I don't know what trannys came in either because trannys were gone when I got them. Anybody got a clue?

The bottom one is just like the one I removed from my 84 with a TH350.

My '81 also uses the bottom crossmember with my TH 350.
Although if you ever intend to put a dual exhaust on that ride, it would be smart to notch that crossmember now (before you powder coat it). That member was meant to clear the pipe on the passenger side only, the drivers side will hang way to low unless you notch it first.
