Default What T56 x-member with Wayne Due subframe

I have a Wayne Due C4 subframe in my 67 Firebird. I'm wondering if there is a trans crossmember that will fit for a T56. The width from frame rail to frame rail is 31" which is narrower than stock. I appreciate anyone's advice on this. Thanks.

We always make a custom tube one so the exhaust fits, but you can always buy a generic one from chassis works, cpp, http://www.classicperform.com/Store/.../XMCA67697.htm etc it should fit with little modification.

Thanks for the advice. That one would have to be narrowed. It looks like the Heidts crossmember may mount similarly to the Wayne Due.

The last one I did we used a 70 Camaro crossmember, chopped the mount plate and rewelded it lower on the cross member. The outer crossmember mounting flanges are long enough so we just redrilled a few holes.

I usd the BMR cross member for a OD automatic. I shaved the ends of the flat metal mounting area but still used origianl holes & just drilled holes where needed on the wayne due mounting surface. Can take pics if needed.
