Much appreciated!
I have the same set up. I used my original automatic cross member. Got rid of the lower plates and it works perfect there were even holes in my frame already there. I did have to shorten my drive shaft. I suggest going with captain fab for the hyd clutch set up, I have it and it works Perfect. This is the easiest and best swap I've eve done. It's a lot of fun to drive
