My last batch of 3-piece engine cross-members went out of here pretty fast, and we are making up another batch of 6 now.

The 3-piece engine cross-member finds its niche with any racer or enthusiast who like to perform their lower engine service without the need for a cherry picker, dropping the suspension, or checking their alignment again every time they get into their oil pan.

Works great, and I have had them field tested for about 4 years now. At Road Atlanta when I had a shunt, Mark Anderson saw us drop the center section out of my cross-member, drop the oil pan, replace the oil pan, button it back up - all without a hoist or an alignment. Works great.

If your a 928 racer, and like to lay on your back and spin in a new set of rod bearings each season just as part of your regular track maintenance, this is the sweet ticket.

Not for everyone of course, but if your about to change you motor mounts and oil pan gasket anyway - that's an ideal time to swap your 1-piece engine cross brace out for our 3-piece unit. We will do an advance-exchange - send you ours and charge you the core charge.... you get the core charge refunded when you return yours to us.

DETAILS AVAILABLE HERE: http://www.928motorsports.com/parts/crossmember.php

SPECIAL PRICING: Normally $550 including core charge, I am taking orders now for this batch at $495. When your cross-member comes back, a core charge $200 will be refunded. Your final price will be $295. Call Gretchen at 920-485-0928 to get the Rennlist price.

Offer expires Dec 31st 2011.

HOW DOES IT WORK? You can download our installation instructions from this page:
http://www.928motorsports.com/install.php
It is in the "Suspension and Handling" section. The instructions show how to remove your cross-member and install ours, and also how to use ours one you have it installed.

Id love to..but..I hope to NOT be doing my motor mounts or oil pan gasket anymore than ONCE, ever, and that's next weekend.

Just wondering carl, how long would you be willing to wait on a core return after the purchase? id probably buy, but i probably wouldnt be able to return the core till spring.

Spun

Looks like this will make the motor mount job easier as well right?

I love the oil pan access.

Speedtoys

Spun: yes. But only the second+ time you do it.

Carl Fausett

We have no time limit on the return of cores. I did just lower the core charge on our website from $200 to $150. So the answer is: "how fast do you want your $150 back?" - thats how fast you should send me your core.

When your'e ready, we're ready. No problem.

Spun

I know they will need it again at some point and I really like access to my oil pan. I'm am probably up for one for sure

It would be more exciting to have a three piece rear cross member. Have you ever considered that? Being able to drop an auto trans without pulling the suspension would be a real time saver.

Carl Fausett

I don't see us making a 3-piece rear cross-member, but thanks for the thought.

Spun

Left voicemail this AM.

Carl Fausett

I'm sorry, Emerald, we found your voicemail but there was so much background noise we cannot understand the last few numbers you left.

Try again at the numbers below my signature, or shoot me an email. My email address is below my signature also.

This appears to make the engine removal/install easier too as I found I kept hitting the crossmember when I would try to remove or install the engine.

IcemanG17

are all crossmembers the same across model years?

steaditim

Carl, what is the weight difference ?

928mac

should be the same, minus the saw cut of your old one, but then weld on some tabs to bolt back together with.
maybe an oz of 2 heaver. oh and new paint.
