US Car Tool A518 Cross member

Old thread I know, but curious if you still think the swap was worth the sacrifice.

I’ve seen some “post” concerns about removing that much meat from the cross member. And they also comment that the A518 isnt suitable for to much torque. I’m highly interested in this mod for a 360 (400+hp est.) I’m building for my 74 Dart Sport, and think with a few upgrades to the A518, this is a good option. Buttttt, I’m equally concerned about cutting the floor for a tranny that won’t likely withstand the HP and Torque.

Would welcome any feedback and updates on how yours is holding up......
