Bear in mind I have had this truck since brand new. Originally w/305cu in small block and th350, It seems to fit 427 BBC w/350 (mod.) then BW 4-speed and now the T-56. I am currently cutting my floor driveline and alignment issues. As we speak it looks the crossmember will work yet again.
Thank you again for your post and info.
Tonyd.

No problem man, glad it was helpful. As I mentioned in that section I based all my hydrualic selections off what others have done for a T56 since its the same slave/bearing for both transmissions. You can follow what I did and it should work perfectly.
