Couldn't load pickup availability
This is our Heavy Duty replacement Engine Crossmember for the K-Series Squarebody 1973-1987 Chevrolet & GM Trucks (thru 1991 for the Blazer/Jimmy/Suburban). It features a full replacement of the factory crossmember and the side "triangles" that your motor mounts bolt to (yes, this means you have to lift and support the engine to install this - but we feel that a little extra effort is worth the additional strength!) It bolts into most of the rivet holes, and there are a few more holes that will need to be drilled (in some cases). There is a drop-out center section for oil pan access, and there are also optional track bar tabs for installing a track bar when changing to crossover steering (Yes, you want to do this!!).
* This crossmember will also clear LS Engine oil pans and even Duramax swaps!
** Installing this crossmember REQUIRES some amount of lift on the vehicle, otherwise the center section can make contact with your front axle! You can get away with 2.5"-3" when running the factory GM 10-bolt axle, but if you have a D60 swapped in then we recommend 4" lift minimum!!
The latest version features a higher-clearance drop out center that can be run in one direction for additional axle clearance, or spun 180 degrees for additional oil pan clearance (Duramax swaps).

This is the second one that I have ordered from this place the first one fit great for some reason this one does not fit and is needing to be reworked. I asked the shop that’s doing the conversion for me and he said where can he begin with what’s wrong with it so I don’t know if it is a tooling problem or what but definitely not satisfied
Hello John! I am sorry that the crossmember isn't fitting correctly for you. In your review, you stated that you had a shop doing a conversion - but you ordered a crossmember for a 4wd frame. If in fact you are having a 2wd frame converted to a 4wd frame, we have a different crossmember available. There are definitely differences in the GM frames over the years and we have a couple different styles / bolt patterns available. If you are 'definitely not satisfied' as you state, you are more than welcome to call us at the shop at (720) 340-4279 and we can discuss the issue and make whatever corrections are necessary.
Super awesome product very impressed with the work, beautiful welds, and installed exactly like it was supposed to
Will definitely order again for the Next LS swap
Cfm products never disappoint! This is a killer upgrade for your squarebodys. And as I found out the factory ones crack and the factory motor mounts are junk too. Do your self a favor and get there upgraded motor mounts as well. You won’t regret it.
Top notch product for a great price. Also very responsive and answered all my questions. Highly recommend this company.
The quality and speed i received my brackets was incredible! Very well made! Can't wait to put them to use! Would buy again 1000%
