T'subaru Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Hi Guys, im getting ready to to install an ej trans in my ea82 wagon using xt6 front and rear trans x-members and an ej center section. Ive lifted the wagon 4''s and my question is will i need 4" blocks for the rear cross member? If my assumption is correct id like to obtain them before swapping out the drive train. Thanks!

GeneralDisorder Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I have not done specifically what you are doing but consider that the engine/tranny combo *can* sit at a different angle to the body than stock if you wish - this affords you the ability to bring the shift linkage closer to the floor pan by tilting the entire power train forward. Part of accomplishing this change will be to make the lift blocks for the transmission shorter than those for the engine cross-member. Changes to the pitching stopper (or better - an adjustable pitching stopper) will likely be required as well. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 yes, whatever height blocks you have on the front xmember will need to be installed in the rear xmember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
