Richard, thanks for jumping in. Since you do not offer one, can you shed some light on places to look, other vendors, and if something like that could be made easily for him?

Do you sell any of the kit components individually? I'm putting a LS1/T56 in a 73 auto frame and I need to deal with the transmission mount issue. I suspect that your bracket and the modified crossmember might do the trick. The driveshaft and offset shifter might come in very handy also. Thanks.

Durango boy, Panic: It just came to me... Try ATS for the crossmember
Don't know if they can help but they do carry crossmembers.

Well.... the truth is we don't sell the "proprietary" parts seperate from the kits(crossmember, sheetmetal etc...). I can help you with a driveshaft and shifter assembly though.

ATS? Thanks. Do you have a web address for them? I did a Google and didn't come up with anything.

Panic: Sorry, I just realised you were asking for a 4 speed crossmember not a 6 speed.

Panic,
I'd bet the x-member for the 700r4 would be real close, with minor modifications it would work. However, if you've got a fixed x-member the modification would be much more involved. I'm putting one of these under my car to gain some space, I don't think there is much difference in the weight, however, I didn't weight the two to compare.
