al chamberlain Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 does anybody know if a 68-72 skylark crossmember is the same as montes. they're both th350 and skylark is not convertible. Quote
bobsmc Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 not the same ,but should work my 69 skylark has a flat stamped c/m and my monte has a stock tubular design. Quote
LS5 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Hey Bruce your best bet for inter-changeable parts without a doubt is 70-72 chevelle for better part will all interchange with 70-72 monte carlo. Also some 68-69 chevelle parts as well but limited... not sure on the Skylark as Bob has mentioned so it might be trial and error there... Darren. Quote
al chamberlain Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 chevelles are bolted directly to frame, the buicks and pontiacs are rubber mounted like montes. just curious if anyone has used one??? Quote
speedfreak71 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Where is a good place to get a chevelle cross member from ? Quote
Montemedic Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Local swap meet, are usually good, or one of the larger supply houses. If you strike out, any of the Chevelle supply houses should have it. I use and like The Parts Place for the majority of my needed parts. Quote
Montemedic Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 There are also some members that may have the part you are looking for too. Leo Konig or Jared Richey are just a few. You could also put it in the Wanted section of the Classifieds and see what happens. Quote
Heckeng Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Are the Velle members the same as the monte ones, but bolting on instead of slip fit? Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 chevelles are the same, my '70 bolts in Quote
AL M Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Bought my chevelle cross member @ super chevy swap meet for $20. Nice and solid now. Inexpensive upgrade, gotta love that. Quote
speedfreak71 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks for the info guys. I'll give that a shot. Heckeng- My monte has the slip type and I'm wanting to put in a overdrive and would like to upgrade the cross member to a solid bolt in type like the chevelles have Quote
stangeba Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 "Slip Fit" new term for me. What does it mean? My 71 350 4BBL with THM-350 has two bolts on the end of each R&L end of the rear transmission cross member. The end is surrounded by a rubber NVH insulator where it bolts to the frame. Bruce Quote
Mike 57 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Mine is like the one Bruce has. What is slip fit? Got any pictures? Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I have one out of a 64 chevelle, not sure how much different they are. Quote
