Yes, now that you say this, I did in my 53 3100. I removed the front member,
and left the rear one. That's the one that my home-made tranny mount is welded
to. With a TH-350 and GM smallblock, you won't need the x-member that is in the
bell housing area. I did not notice any frame movement or distortion after
removing this front member.
