Question about BB 4speed crossmember

Your setup is fine, there are deuces with 100k+ miles on them with the mis-matched components - without problems! The universal joints make up for any alignment issues. I'm not sure I'd be throwing a set of slicks & caltracs on there, but for 'normal' usage it will be ok.

Marlin,

I'm a little confused here. The Deuces are LT-1 drive
trains and as such would use a SB X-member - right?

Also, if the SB works, why did GM use the special BB
4-speed X-member we are discussing here? As I mentioned
earlier, every BB 4-speed Camaro I ever saw ( correct )
used this special X-member. You're obviously knowledgeable
about this stuff and I hate to disagree with you, but I
just don't see the SB X-member being correct. I'd welcome
your comments otherwise. Always good to learn from others.
