I am putting a 200-4R behind the 289 in my Conestoga. I will be adding a cross member to support the transmission mount. The cross member (batwing) used to mount the original bell housing not only will not be needed to support the engine & transmission, it likely will be at least a little bit in the way. What have other members done who have swapped in a GM transmission? How were the Avanti IIs with Studebaker design frames and GM drivetrains configured?
Also if anyone has pictures of crossmembers they have used for similar swaps, I would appreciate seeing them.
Thanks in advance.
