I saw this picture in DSE projects. Can someone tell me why the top part of the dse cross member has been leaned back ? I know their t56 crossmember wont clear F-body T56, but in that picture there is viper T56 in place ?? Has the engine been moved back few inches or what ?

The shifter on a viper t56 is forward a few inches.

Thats excatly what i have understood. But why the upper part of the dse crossmember is still angled backwards ???

And one more, where can i get viper case LSX compactible T56 ?

If you look at this pic, the shifter is so far back that it wuld be behind the crossmember.But if I rememer corectly the shifter is always in front the crossmember.:willy:

So I think they angled the crossmember backwards just to make it work for the viper t56.

Joni-

They way we do it is we put viper internals into an LSX style case. Works much better than using a viper box.
