maybe Mr. F could double check me but.....

according to the ford parts book the crossmember is different for a big block and a small block. the big block is a C6OZ-6A023-C and a small block is a C6OZ-6A023-B. it does not matter if the car is a stick or an automatic on a fairlane just if it is a big block or small block. the big block trans has to have the back end sit lower due to the lower crank centerline. a small block mount will bolt in just fine and will line up but it holds the back of the trans up a couple of inches over a big block mount. this will mess up the fit of a stock shifter and eventually chew up U-joint. unless someone knows something that ford didn't know i would stick with a correct big block part and avoid the small block mount. hawkrod
