removal question

[hotrod ford]

is the tranny crossmember the only thing of the frame i need to remove to take out the tranny? what about the cross over pipe for the exhaust?

[fordman]

if its in the way it will need to go. you will probably have to remove both transmision crossmemebers. the front one and the back one.

[hotrod ford]

ok. i thought the front was riveted in but i just saw the bolts and nuts. thanks, i believe it will be a great deal easier when it is out of the way.

After looking at it every different way I could, I found that the front crossmember MUST be removed. The thing will just about fall out at that point.
