I guess it is what it is: but I'd personally modify the trans mount. As long as we are discussing modifications, the 74 shifter does not have enough detents for the 700 but it may work after a fashion. Also be sure they get the TV cable adjusted correctly as that is the quickest way to death for a 700. Lastly, they will need to shorten the driveshaft. Take it to a good shop and be sure they put the best balance on it they can.
I'm not sure what you are doing with the speedometer drive but very few 700's had a mechanical drive. When I put the 700 into my 54K I found a mechanical drive at a local wrecking yard and swapped it out. I don't remember if I had to add a drive gear to the trans output shaft but there are many output gears to adjust output speed. Otherwise it's an pulse to mechanical output conversion unit or a GPS speedometer. Bowtie or other performance trans shops can probably supply what is needed.
IAC adding the 700 is a modification I'd add to mine if I had an automatic in it.

OK, this is getting nowhere here. There is no way to offer correct help about this "Crossmember" without the Year and Model of the Car.
A THM400 to a 700R4? Is it even IN a Studebaker?StudeRich

Mid 70's Avanti, I agree that a large number of posts need more complete titles. Sure would help with future searches.
