I'm makin a 3in downpipe for somebody else, he got a grs block and I was wondering if it would have that rod that conntecting the block to the tranny, I would assume so but I want to make sure. If it's the same, i'm going to fab up something that will suport the down pipe using those bolting location. Here's a pic of a mild steel dp I did for my LS block.

 

yeah it should have that, i dont but most cars do. i took it off to make it easier to take off my tranny.

Same here. . . no problems with it off for about a year. ..

 

problme i see with that downpipe is that its extremely low

 

It must be the picture because I have less than an inch before it hits the oil pan. I put it on the car and clearance is great.

 

that rod is on just about all motors but most people take them off like me.... I havent had it on for about 2 years and no problems
