Poster is a tool. Doesn't matter what engine or model of G-body you have a TH-350 crossmember is a TH-350 crossmember ... that will fit ALL G-body cars. If you do not require the double hump and are near St Louis - I got an O.E.M. crossmember that just came out of my 81 ...I'm putting a 200-4r in my car

That would be the easiest way. You can modify the stock cross member if you are good at welding and fabricating.

You could also route both pipes under the single hump crossmember too if you make them pass close together where the single exhaust normally goes.

this is what summit told me about this crossmember,has anyone used this one in a supreme?The crossmember will not work in the Supreme chassis because the engine is back farther and moved to the right than in the non-Supreme chassis.

Thanks

is this also why jegs lists their brand dual exhaust kits as not compatible with the cutlass supremes too? sounds like it to me, i might buy one anyways.

This is an unfounded old wives' tale that involved early Cutlasses .... wasn't even the G-body. That crossmemeber will fit ALL G-BODIES. Engine doesn't matter just which transmission. There are but 2 (only 2) designs. One for the 200 metric/TH350 and one for the 200-4r ... all other automatics use one of these 2.

It's right up there with the SWM 403 Mondildo tells us about
