200-4R Dual Exhaust Crossmember

I think the G Force will give you more clearance for exhaust.

It does. When I got mine I compaired it to the Jegs one, the G Force allows more space & bigger pipes.

I'm using G Force. Plenty of wiggle room for collector/CATS etc.

Hey all! I'm in the process of collecting parts right now, and will need a dual exhaust crossmember for my 85 Monte Carlo SS with a 200-4R. It will have long tube headers and dual exhaust (no cats) so just wondering which crossmember you recommend!

i got mine off amazon "G FORCE CROSSMEMBERS RCG-400 Transmission Crossmember 84-88 G-Body Cars" it says for 400 and i cross referenced it on the gforce site and its for the 200 4r as well, heard of no issues when mechanic installed. gives the car a more rigid ride too. i wanted to get the summit but doin the math i think the gforce came up 3 bux less off amazon i think?

Thank you all so much for all the great info! Really made things easy and clear for me.

Coltrane, take a look at the Summit brand 2004r trans cross member. Basically, it is a G Force in a Summit box. The installation instructions I found in mine was a photo copy of the G Force instructions.

This is what I have for my TH400. I'm very happy with it.

Jegs says it doesn't fit El Camino or Cutlass Supreme. Is that because of the frame in those models? Can i use a piece if 1" x 2" Rectangle tubing to make the extension? ( trying to swap a 200 4r from an 85 442 to my 83 ECSS) Current setup I have is the Crown Vic Cross member, it clears the exhaust, and fits pass side great. Hits Driver floor, and does not quite overlap the Frame rail thinking about making a frame extension from the 1x2 tubing. Thanks!

Their researchers who does the parts interchange are morons like 90% of the parts places. Those crossmembers will fit & will just need the frame extension for being an '83. If something can fit a 442 can fit a Supreme as they have the same frames. To be honest, all A/G's have the same side rails with the El Camino & Caballero being longer after the cab.

I have the G-Force but iirc it's for 700R4 which is trans I have, and the 2004R one might be different. I will say it's a nice piece and I remember when I first put it in years ago, being I have a T-Top body it seemed like it stiffened up the overall feel of the car when hitting bumps around turns but that might just be in my head.

Here's a look at it with 3" exhaust and hi flow cats right through the openings.

I like my g force. Buick 350 is wider than a vortec or any sbc and I've got plenty of room with long tubes.
