I got a 1990 f150 4x4 351 what should the crossmember look like the trans is just sittin on the crossmember the bolt holes don't line up and I'm needing some pics of what it should like if any one could help thanks.

 

There is an insulating mount that goes between the cross member and the transmission. Some catalogs list the transmission mount as the rear engine mount.

 

I have found a mount to buy but the mount holes dont line up with the crossmember holes

 

Did you flip the mount over to see if you just had the mount upside down? The mounting holes for the trans and the crossmember have different spacing.

You may just have the wrong mount as well.

 

The studs on the mount go into the cross member, and the bolt holes should line up with the transmission. One side of the mount should say "front", and should of course face front. If it is not legible try spinning the mount around.

Here's a picture I found.

Sorry it was a 2wd pic. I'll look for a 4x4 version.

 

It's like the crossmember is to far back needs to move up but I can't move it up cause the front drive shaft will hit it I need a spacer or something to drop the crossmember itself so I can move forward

 

Are you converting the truck from stick to auto(or the other way)? They have different crossmembers.

 

There should be a couple of set of holes for the trans mount to go.
You can also spin the crossmember around to use other holes

 

No its a auto staying a auto and on flipping the crossmember if I turn it around then the notched out part for the drive shaft will be on the wrong side

 

ok so i got a trans mount for my 90 f150 and i went out and really looked at it i see where everyone says to flip the cross member and it looks like it will line the holes up my question now is how far can i jack up the trans mission because the transmission it sitting on the cross member now and the mount is pretty thick and how much of the driveshaft should be showing coming out the tcase going to rear i got about 3in maybe 4 showing now and got about another 2in to jack up b4 the mount will even fit

 

You can jack the trans all the way till it is pushing on the floor

 

ok thanks didn't want to bust the bell housing or nothing

 

The motor mounts have enough flexibility. Just watch you don't jam the fan into the shroud.

 

got the mount and all bolted in but now my driveshaft is hitting the rear cab mount support that runs between the frame.
