<VV> Re: Changing an EM transnission 3 spd to 4 spd (

[Gary Swiatowy]

You will need the cross member for the 4-speed trans.
Also the rear "cradle" that is the major frame component supporting the rear 
suspension as the 4-speed one is "notched" and I do not beleive the 4-speed 
will fit without either the proper cradle or notching the one you have.
