need quick info

is this piece called the crossmember? the black cross bar that the picture shows being bolted.



does anyone know the bolt size and torque for that?

i am assuming the center bolt is the transmission mount?



lastly, where is the stock tunnel brace located in relation to this? i cant get under my car at the momment and its near impossible to see anything without jacks anyway so...

yes it is. not sure the size and torque for something like that is 'enough'. I've never put a torque wrench on a crossmember bolt.

yes, that is the trans mount.

not sure what you mean by tunnel brace.

10 x 1.50 thread pitch , 1 3/4" - 1 7/8" long @ 37ftlbs

tunnel brace should be roughly a foot back from the crossmember and have 4 short bolts in it. the underbody will have 2 retangular stands that are welded to body that the brace bolts to

they are either 8x1.25 thread or 10x1.50 thread.
maybe someone else here is 100% sure on the thread/pitch.

Do you need the brace or just the bolts? I think I have a stock one somewhere? or you can upgrade to an aftermarket unit that has a DS loop.
