Another question, i have a crossmember that i am replacing, and i noticed that the the 2 holes on each side of the hump are a little closer than the ones that on car now, these are the bolt holes for the trans mount unit.Thaqnks

not sure exactly what you are asking ?
 the mount will collapse inward slightly , the crossmember has a cross bolt & can`t really move closer

so obviously I am wrong , the bolt pattern must have changed somewhat between the different years

Plumcrazy & Mopar THanks  Unique in what way,  Would the hump be the same on all years, ie to allow for trans, shifter etc. I think this one i got came from a 72 Challenger, i just got it to replace the hump part. Thanks

I was told that the raqdiatoer size made a difference, but could never confirm it

The 70 is shorter and the bolt holes are different.  An easy way to tell them is the center hole which was changed in 71 due to the change in the E-brake system.
