Re: Driveline support beam install (87Beast)
You need to work it in installing rear onto the differential and then the front end by lowering a little bit the engine - trans assembly, and then prying the tranny slightly over to give more room between the tunnel and tranny. Use a 2x4 piece of wood for leverage....carefull not to crack the fiberglass tunnel. Once you get it aloongside the tranny lift the tranny SLOW, and supporting the beam as both go up. When a certain height is attained, the beam will simply be alighned with the tranny. Careful when lifting the tranny with a floor jack...secure the car on jackstands!
