Crossmember Compatibility Question

Will the transmission crossmember that’s available from Kaiser willys work with a t14? It states t90.

Also, for those that know, is the adapter to the mount and transmission offset like the ones I’ve seen here or just a flat plate?

The one currently on there is so cobbled and patched it’s hard to discern what’s correct. In fact it’s so bent from snagging it’s touching the transfer case pan.

 

Hopefully someone knowledgeable will reply to this, I am in the same boat. I have a good crossmember, but everything else between the crossmember and transmission and transfer case was a cobbled together mess of spare parts that someone had laying around.

 

They are different on the transfercase torq arm mount because a t-90 sits .75" farther to the driverside then the v6. You will need to drill your transmission mount holes and the torque mount will need to go to the snubber on the frame rail if it doesn't already.

 

The crossmember for the T-14 is the same stamping as the T-90 crossframe, but my have different holes drilled in it from the factory. It also does not have the cup for the transfer case mounting doughnut.

This is the one from my '69. You should be able to drill your own holes as needed:


The V-6 T-14 Jeeps used an L-bracket from the transfer case anti-torque ear to the passenger side frame-rail. The Rubber mount itself is a Jeep F-134 motor mount:


This is what it looks like installed on my '71:


The adapter between the transmission and transmission mount is indeed offset:

 

Thanks for the pictures, maybe I do have mostly the right parts, the just weren’t assembled correctly.
I have heard that crossmember can be drilled to accept the puck style transfer case mount and that it would be a stronger setup than the motor mount and bracket setup. Is there any truth to that?

 

The t90 was behind the f134 which sits with the crankshaft 1.5" off the vehicle centerline. The v6 sits just .75" off the centerline so you don't have as much room for the puck.
