OK thanks Paul ....Am helping installing 4 speed into '59 Lark...crossmember under clutch housing not drilled for center mount rear engine support....(using '62 clutch housing)

Might be tough to measure..but I need exact location of the two holes in center of crossmember that rear engine mount studs drop through.

I know this probably means getting under car...I was hoping your engine/ trans was still out of car?

Bad time of year to get under car..if you can't help...that's fine...thank you, Ed C

Will do.....(the only other way I can figure to do this is to drop the engine, with clutch housing attached, into the car, and then mark where the studs contact the crossmember, then remove the  engine... to drill holes from the top.)

Measure one  on the Avanti. They used the same crossmember, they just cut off the ends.  The holes should be there.

Yes.....

My '63 is in dead storage for winter, and next to impossible to get under...but I do have a '73 parts car out back that I kind of forgot about...I'll bet that car has those same holes?

(good thought Brad)

Oh oh..

Not sure if a '73 Avanti even has that same crossmember ????
