well i fabbed up the trans crossmember. being a 4L80e on top of setting the engine an extra inch back posed quite a problem. i read some where that i could modify a factory TH400 crossmember and it would work, so i bought a "factory" th400 crossmember from a member on this board. well im not saying that it wasnt bolted up to a th400 in a previous car but this crossmember wasnt what i would call stock as the mount had be relocated. i went ahead and used it just for convienence. im working with limited tools and rescources (mostly only hand tools) so i make due with what i have.
the crossmember may be a little over kill but i think it will also help support the chassis. win win. anyways here are the pics.
it ended up working out pretty good. the carb flange sits a zero level when on the ground
