weird trans crossmember

[wantaranger]

hey guys, my 1989 Bronco II with A4LD has the transmission crossmember that is on the inside of the frame on the drivers side and its on the outside on the frame rail on the passenger side?? i was just looking at it the other day incase i wanted to throw on some extended rad arms when i put in the D35. so is this stock or is it something modified up? and is there a reason for it being different on both sides? thanks

That's normal, my choptop has the same style.

Your options are to do one of two things:

Get an integrated trans crossmember and extended radius arm mount fabbed up or...

Modify the trans crossmember to work with the extended mounts.

ok thanks, ill probably just get some brackets to mount just before the trans crossmember and drill some holes in the frame and bolt it on
