Default Need help with converting auto to 4spd

I just started on my work to convert my '75 from auto to a B&W super T-10 manual 4spd. So I have a question for anyone who has done this. The crossmember does not line up with the trans mount on the 4spd. Has anyone run into this situaion. Thanks

You need the bracket that attaches to the front of the trans crossmember. You will need to weld on two small tabs for the bolts.

I don't have a name or a pic but I'm sure Alan71 will jump on here and post some great pics of what you're needing. The bracket was used on all 4 speed cars and 76-79 automatics with the 350 trans. Your car was a 400 trans so it didn't use the bracket.

I think I have an extra bracket, in fact I probably have enough parts to make an auto to 4spd conversion, if you or anyone else is interested send a PM
